Unit CC lesson 1 CC terms

The degree to which a system is able to adapt to workload changes by provisioning and de-provisioning resources in an autonomic manner, such that at each point in time the available resources match the current demand as closely as possible is known as what?

• Rapid deployment

• Elasticity

• Ubiquitous access

• On-demand self-service

Being able to access data anytime, anywhere, any device access is known as what?

• Rapid deployment

• Elasticity

• Ubiquitous access

• On-demand self-service

Cloud computing can be deployed in hours rather than weeks. By getting up and running more rapidly, organizations see returns much quicker. This is called what?

• Rapid deployment

• Elasticity

• Ubiquitous access

• On-demand self-service

The service provided by cloud computing vendors that enables the provision of cloud resources on demand whenever they are required. In on-demand self-service, the user accesses cloud services through an online control panel is known as what?

• Rapid deployment

• Elasticity

• Ubiquitous access

• On-demand self-service

Providers serve multiple clients, customers or "tenants" with provisional and scalable services. These services can be adjusted to suit each client's needs without any changes being apparent to the client or end user. This is known as what?

• Resource pooling

• Pay as you grow

• Multi-tenancy

• Automation

Which of the following describes a payment method for cloud computing that charges based on usage?

• Resource pooling

• Pay as you grow

• Multi-tenancy

• Automation

A cloud computing architecture that allows customers to share computing resources in a public or private cloud. Each tenant's data is isolated and remains invisible to other tenants. This is known as what?

• Resource pooling

• Pay as you grow

• Multi-tenancy

• Automation

"The processes and tools an organization uses to reduce the manual efforts associated with provisioning and managing cloud computing workloads. IT teams can apply cloud automation to private, public and hybrid cloud environments." This is known as what?

• Resource pooling

• Pay as you grow

• Multi-tenancy

• Automation

Which of the below is an accounting strategy that applies the costs of IT hardware, software, cloud services or shared services to the business unit in which they are used. Such systems are intended to shift responsibility to users and encourage them to treat IT services as they would any other utility, which in turn encourages moderate use.

• Chargeback

• Cloud bursting

• Minimal management effort

• Provisioning

• Deprovisioning

Which of the below is an application deployment model in which an application runs in a private cloud or data centre and bursts into a public cloud when the demand for computing capacity spikes.

• Chargeback

• Cloud bursting

• Minimal management effort

• Provisioning

• Deprovisioning
