Question #16 Topic 1

What is one reason to choose a Single Cloud Environment over a Multicloud Environment?
A. The shared security responsibilities between the Cloud provider and the Cloud consumer is easier to define in a Single Cloud
Environment
B. Vendor lock-in policies are negotiable
C. A Single Cloud Environment is always more cost effective in comparison to Multicloud
D. The risk of vendor lock in is reduced with a Single Cloud Environment

Answer : Vendor lock-in is a real issue with cloud providers, and can give a single cloud provider more leverage over an organization if
they are their only provider. While a hybrid approach of one cloud provider and on-premises infrastructure can help offset lock in issues,
a multi-cloud approach enables organizations to more quickly and migrate away from a provider they’re having issues with.

Question #17 Topic 1

with independent power, cooling, and network infrastructures. It is isolated from other zones to strengthen fault tolerance by avoiding
single points of failure between zones while also guaranteeing high bandwidth and low inter-zone latency within a region.

These regions and zones provide a full cloud service stack that enables highly available, redundant, and geographically dispersed
customer solutions. This architecture provides the foundation you need to build and deploy your mission-critical applications in the
cloud:

Uniformity and consistency of cloud services between locations

so that the exact same stack runs in both locations
D. It is an open standards-based stack that can be deployed on single public cloud infrastructure

Answer : when you use the term “hybrid” in conjunction with “multicloud,” it implies an IT infrastructure that uses a mix of on premises
and/or private / public cloud from multiple providers.This is a sensible approach for many organizations because it enables you to
maintain and benefit from the systems and data that you have built over time. And, to couple it with current best practices for reducing
cost and scaling with cloud services where and when it makes sense.
