1

What is a key advantage of cloud services like AWS for server provisioning?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Physical access to the servers

  • Unlimited free server time

Frage 3 von 10

1

What is a major downside of a cold standby backup system?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • High cost of server maintenance

  • Requires a replicated live database

  • Significant downtime and potential data loss

  • Complexity of implementation

Erklärung

Frage 4 von 10

1

Why might a cold standby system still be used despite its limitations?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • It provides seamless failover capabilities

  • It is suitable for critical production systems

  • It is a cost-effective and simple solution for non-critical systems

  • It eliminates the need for backups

Erklärung

Frage 5 von 10

1

What is the primary difference between a warm standby and a cold standby system?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Warm standby uses simultaneous writes to all hosts

  • Warm standby relies on live replication instead of periodic backups

  • Cold standby offers faster recovery times

  • Warm standby requires manual intervention to activate

Erklärung

Frage 6 von 10

1

What is one potential drawback of using a warm standby system?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • High probability of data loss

  • Increased load on the backup database

  • Lack of replication options in modern databases

  • Long downtime during failover

Erklärung

Frage 7 von 10

1

What is the key characteristic of a hot standby system?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Writes are replicated periodically

  • It relies on cold backups for recovery

  • Data is written simultaneously to all database hosts

  • It eliminates the need for read scaling

Erklärung

Frage 8 von 10

1

How does a hot standby system support horizontal scaling?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • By distributing write operations among multiple servers

  • By enabling simultaneous read operations across database hosts

  • By relying on a single database host with backups

  • By using a replication mechanism to synchronize data

Erklärung

Frage 9 von 10

1

What is the main advantage of serverless services like AWS Lambda?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Complete elimination of downtime

  • Direct control over physical servers

  • Abstraction of server provisioning and billing based on usage

  • Reduced costs due to fixed pricing models

Erklärung

Frage 10 von 10

1

Which scenario best fits a serverless architecture?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • Running long-term, stateful applications

  • Handling unpredictable, short-lived workloads

  • Managing a large database with replication

  • Provisioning dedicated servers for high-traffic websites

Erklärung
