,1.
An e-commerce company uses "Auto Scaling Groups" on AWS to handle
fluctuating website traffic. Which cloud characteristic best enables this
capability?
A. Multi-tenancy
B. Scalability
C. Resource pooling
D. Measured service
ANS: B. Scalability
Rationale: Scalability allows resources to be dynamically allocated
according to demand, which is fundamental to auto scaling.

public information to a public cloud. What type of deployment model are
they using?
A. Community Cloud
B. Private Cloud
C. Hybrid Cloud
D. Public Cloud

certain regions to comply with regulations. Which is this an example of?
A. Geo-fencing
B. Latency optimization
C. Vendor lock-in
D. Orchestration
ANS: A. Geo-fencing
Rationale: Geo-fencing restricts resources/data to specific geographical
locations for compliance or regulatory needs.
8.
A SaaS provider must deliver high availability to users worldwide. Which
of the following strategies is MOST effective?
A. Single availability zone deployment
B. Multiple region deployment
C. Local backup only
