Question 1/10

Which of the following statements regarding the advantages of cloud computing models over traditional
computing models is incorrect?

The pay-as-you-go costing model offered

by cloud computing vendors has the
benefit of reduced capital expenditure.

Cloud computing models have the benefit

of reduced concept to implementation
timelines.

Cloud computing typically provides more

control over the software and
infrastructure.

Solutions implemented on the cloud can

scale more rapidly with business needs.

Question 2/10

Which of the following statements around the concept of cloud scalability is most correct?

Cloud scalability enables organisations to

rapidly adjust the number of computer
resources with peak demand.

Cloud scalability reduces the need for

large servers that only run at full capacity
 for a short duration as a result of
seasonal/cyclical business change.

Cloud scalability requires that you always

need to manually reserve computing
resources up-front before peak demand is
realised.

Cloud scalability allows less time to be

spent on procurement and infrastructure
design, and more time to be spent on
solutions architecture.
