Which of the following statements best defines virtualization? - Correct Answer
Virtualization is a set of techniques for hiding hardware resources behind software
abstractions.
When provisioning new virtual servers, which of the following must be done? (Choose

Which of the following statements are true regarding cloud services? (Choose two.) -
Correct Answer Instead of purchasing hardware and software, you purchase only the
cloud IT solutions you use on an ongoing basis. Provisioning new cloud IT services, such

hardware and then installing an operating system on it.
How can cloud computing improve the flexibility of businesses? - Correct Answer
Because public SaaS solutions are already on the Internet, any user who has been
granted access can easily connect. Rapid elasticity allows businesses to respond to up
and down swings in business activity, which in turn means businesses pay for the cloud
services they use. PaaS allows developers to quickly create and test applications; this is
made possible by software libraries and databases
for developers and the rapid creation of virtual machines.

scenario apply? - Correct Answer Scalability embodies the ability to grow in a controlled
manner, as in increasing computing infrastructure as business needs demand.
For a software development firm, which of the following cloud benefits is realized with
PaaS? - Correct Answer PaaS allows developers to quickly create and test applications.
Getting your product to market before your competitors can give a competitive edge.
How does cloud computing affect a cloud customer's cost structure? - Correct Answer

customers can essentially rent the IT services they need as they need them; thus, capital
expenditures (CAPEX) become operating expenses (OPEX).
