Q1) Answer the following questions

1- Explain, how cloud computing can be rapidly provisioned?
It can resource allocation rapidly (scale up or down).
2- State three advantages and three challenges of cloud computing.
1- On demand selfservice. X 1- Security and privacy.
2- Broad network access. X 2- Task scheduling and resources allocation.
3- Resource pooling. X 3- cost.
4- Rapid elalsticity. X 4- Reliability and availability.
5- Measured service. X 5- Service Level Agreement.

3- What is Hypervisor in Cloud Computing and its types?

A hypervisor allows one host computer to support multiple guest VMs by virtually sharing its resources and
management.
Types:
1- Bare-Metal Virtualization.
2- Hosted Virtualization.

4- State and explain the four characteristics of the virtualization

1- Partitioning: Run multiple virtual machines on single physical server.
2- Isolation: Each virtual machine is isolated from other virtual machine on the same server.
3- Encapsulation: Entire virtual machine is saved in files and can be moved and copied.
4- Hardware Independence: Run a virtual machine on any server without modification.

5- Explain how to a virtualization idea is implemented on Library Support Level?

Applications use APIs exported by user-level libraries rather than using lengthy system calls by
the OS.

6- Draw the architecture of Xen VMM.

Q2) Complete the following sentences with correct words

1- Docker is an example of cloud computing 3

2- Community Cloud refers to the cloud model which is shared by some organizations from a

particular community with the same needs and requirements

3- SAAS allows users to access the Software as services via internet

4- OpenStack / AWS is an example of PAAS

5- Host OS runs directly on the host hardware.

6- Xen is an example of open source VMM while Hyber-V is a closed source VMM.

Q3) Choose true(T) or false(F) for the following

1- All open-source virtualization technologies are type 1 virtualization, while all closed- F
source ones are type 2 virtualization.
2- laaS in cloud computing refers to Information as a Service F
3- virtualization and non-virtualization resources cannot coexist in one data center F
4- Generally, a VM has a configuration file that records the specifications and name of the T
VM.
5- Multiple VMs running with different OSes can be deployed on the same physical node T

Good luck
