WGU D337 - Internet of Things (IoT) and Infrastructure
Questions with verified answers
_______ is the standard OS choice for most edge devices due to its flexibility and
a user's ability to customize and secure it. Ans✓✓✓ Linux
_____________ is the best way to protect information when using IoT devices.
Ans✓✓✓ Encryption
1st wave of IoT Ans✓✓✓ Hardware breakthrough that aimed to connect
everyday objects to a network
2nd wave of IoT Ans✓✓✓ Developing new types of sensors and new
technologies and protocols to support their deployment
3rd wave of IoT Ans✓✓✓ Data collection, processing, and security
A _____ in a blockchain is a computer that is on a blockchain network. Ans✓✓✓
node
Access control Ans✓✓✓ In the more open environment of the IoT, a provider of
information generally does not know all potential consumers of its data. Facilities
that allow information providers to retain control over access should therefore be
provided by an IoT platform.
Access network Ans✓✓✓ Part of a network which is concerned with moving data
to and from a sensor or edge device to a backhaul network
,Actuator Ans✓✓✓ Device that converts an electrical signal into a corresponding
physical quantity such as movement, force, or sound
AI (Artificial Intelligence) Ans✓✓✓ The ability of a computer or a robot controlled
by a computer to perform tasks that ordinarily require human intelligence
Alarm fatigue Ans✓✓✓ Occurs when clinicians experience high exposure to
medical device alarms, causing alarm desensitization and leading to missed
alarms or delayed response.
Alliance for IoT Innovation Ans✓✓✓ Initiated by the European Commission in
2015. The objective of the association was to enhance innovation and economic
development in the IoT in Europe.
AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) Ans✓✓✓ Integrated system of smart
meters, communication networks and data management systems that enable
two-way communication between utilities and customers
API (Application Programming Interface) Ans✓✓✓ A set of definitions and
protocols for building and integrating application software
Application developers Ans✓✓✓ Produce applications that process the available
data within a specific context to produce actionable insight for end users.
AQL (Archetype Query Language) Ans✓✓✓ A declarative query language
developed specifically for expressing queries used for searching and retrieving
data found in archetype-based repositories
, Used to search data inside openEHR repositories.
Auditability Ans✓✓✓ All nodes hold a copy of the ledger and thus can access all
time-stamped transaction records, which make things transparent.
Aurora Ans✓✓✓ Fully managed relational database engine compatible with
MySQL and PostgreSQL.
AV (Autonomous Vehicle) Ans✓✓✓ Aim to reduce congestion and emissions
Backdoor government surveillance Ans✓✓✓ IoT devices are capable of collecting
huge amounts of data and this fuels the debate around intelligence overreach and
increases the need to ensure appropriate governance is in place.
Batch processing Ans✓✓✓ Process that accumulates new data into disjunctive
groups and processes them at a later time, which is defined by criteria such as size
or age
Blockchain Ans✓✓✓ is a growing list of records, called blocks. These blocks are
linked together using cryptography.
Brittleness Ans✓✓✓ Inability of systems to degrade gracefully when faced with
problems they can't solve
C-PEC (Customer Premises Edge Compute) Ans✓✓✓ Computing devices installed
on the customer's premises adjacent to their sensors, LAN, or IoT devices
