Consider Five Essential Characteristics of Cloud Computing (NIST) as discussed in the class. Capabilities are available over the network and accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous thin or thick client platforms (e.g., mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and workstations). This is about _____. Select the best answer.

Broad network access

Consider Virtualization as discussed in the class. Which one of the following choices is NOT correct?

By maximizing user involvement, automation speeds up the process, reduces labor costs and reduces the possibility of human errors.

Consider the major benefits of Cloud Computing as discussed in the class. Pricing on a utility computing basis can be simplified or "fine-grained" with usage-based billing options. Cloud computing get the job done for users with less in-house IT skills than needed normally. This generates or causes one of the following benefits.Which one of the following choices is Correct? Select the best answer.

Cost Reduction

Consider the major benefits of Cloud Computing as discussed in the class. Public-cloud delivery model converts capital expenditures (e.g., buying servers) to operational expenditure.

This generates or causes one of the following benefits.Which one of the following choices is Correct?

Cost Reduction

Consider the major benefits of Cloud Computing as discussed in the class. Critical computing resources (hardware and software) are provided and maintained by the providers and can be accessed from anywhere via Internet. This generates or causes one of the following benefits.Which one of the following choices is Correct?Select the best answer.

Easier Maintenance

Enabling users to access systems using a web browser regardless of their location or what device they use (e.g., mobile phones, desktop or laptop) as infrastructure is off-site (provided by a third-party) and accessed via the Internet from anywhere. This generates or causes one of the following benefits.Which one of the following choices is Correct?Select the best answer.

Global Services

Consider the enabling technologies of Cloud Computing as discussed in the class. ______ Model is a form of distributed and parallel computing, whereby a 'super and virtual computer' is composed of a cluster of networked, loosely coupled computers acting in concert to do large tasks.

It is to make resources available in any cloudy situations.

Consider Five Essential Characteristics of Cloud Computing (NIST) as discussed in the class. Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing, bandwidth, and active user accounts). Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported, providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service. This is about _____. Select the best answer.

Consider the major benefits of Cloud Computing as discussed in the class. ____ is about sharing of resources and costs with a large pool of users Which one of the following choices is Correct?Select the best answer.

Multitenancy

Consider Five Essential Characteristics of Cloud Computing (NIST) as discussed in the class. A consumer can unilaterally provision computing capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed automatically without requiring human interaction with each service provider. This is about _____. Select the best answe

On-demand self-service

Consider the major benefits of Cloud Computing as discussed in the class. ____ is about flexibility for users with re-provisioning, adding, or expanding technological infrastructure resources. Which one of the following choices is correct? Select the best answer.

Organizational Agility

Consider three models of Cloud Computing (NIST) as discussed in the class. _____ is defined as the capability provided to the consumer is to deploy onto the cloud infrastructure consumer-created or acquired applications created using programming languages, libraries, services, and tools supported by the provider. Which one of the following choices is correct?Select the best answer.

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Consider Five Essential Characteristics of Cloud Computing (NIST) as discussed in the class. Capabilities can be elastically provisioned and released, in some cases automatically, to scale rapidly outward and inward commensurate with demand. To the consumer, the capabilities available for provisioning often appear unlimited and can be appropriated in any quantity at any time. This is about _____. Select the best answer.

Rapid elasticity

Consider Five Essential Characteristics of Cloud Computing (NIST) as discussed in the class. The provider's computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer demand. This is about _____. Select the best answer.

Resource pooling

Consider three models of Cloud Computing (NIST) as discussed in the class. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, storage, or even individual application capabilities, with the possible exception of limited user-specific application configuration settings. The capability provided to the consumer is to use the provider's applications running on a cloud infrastructure. The applications are accessible from various client devices through either a thin client interface, such as a web browser (e.g., web-based email), or a program interface. This describes one of three models of cloud computing (NIST). Which one of the following choices is correct?Select the best answer.
