Review | Graded A+
1. Which cloud deployment model allows multiple users to share the same
infrastructure while keeping their data isolated?
Public cloud
Hybrid cloud
Community cloud
Private cloud
2. What is the primary function of APIs in the management plane of cloud
computing?
Data storage
Orchestration
Network routing
User authentication
3. Describe how cryptographic erasure works as a method for data sanitization
on SSDs.
Cryptographic erasure uses a magnetic field to erase data from the
SSD.
Cryptographic erasure physically destroys the SSD to prevent data
recovery.
Cryptographic erasure overwrites existing data with random bits.
Cryptographic erasure involves encrypting the data on the SSD and
then deleting the encryption keys, rendering the data inaccessible.

availability in cloud computing?
Memory and software
Storage and networking
CPU and memory
CPU and storage
6. Describe the concept of 'shares' in the context of resource allocation in
cloud computing.
Shares are the total amount of resources available in a cloud
environment.
Shares are a type of security threat in cloud computing.
Shares indicate the number of customers using the cloud service.
Shares refer to the method of determining how resources are
distributed among customers based on predefined criteria.
7. What protocol does REST use?

setup?
Modify data
Review existing data
Import data
Modify metadata
14. A government agency wants to deploy a cloud platform model at a new
federal building that uses the multitenancy concept, which allows tenets to
share computing resources owned and managed by the CSP. What cloud
deployment model is associated with multitenancy?
