The tutorial also covers the shared responsibility model for security, emphasizing the roles of cloud providers and administrators.

What are the core advantages of cloud computing as compared to traditional infrastructure?

• Increased physical space

• Higher electricity consumption

• Greater cost efficiency and improved agility

• More complex maintenance

How does cloud computing reduce overhead expenses?

• By expanding physical data centers

• By hiring more system administrators

• Through on-demand resource provisioning

• By increasing the number of physical servers

What is a key benefit of cloud services in terms of deployment?

• Longer setup times

• Increased hardware costs

• Limited customization options

• Ability to deploy virtual instances quickly

How do cloud services improve time to market?

• By increasing the number of data centers

• By requiring more physical infrastructure

• Through rapid deployment of virtual instances

• By reducing the need for testing

What allows cloud computing to offer greater scalability?

• Higher latency in data access

• Increased physical server maintenance

• Global distribution of data centers

• Limited geographic reach

How do cloud providers ensure improved reliability?

• By reducing backup services

• By using a single data center

• By limiting data storage

• Through network redundancy

What is the shared responsibility model in cloud security?

• Cloud providers handle all security aspects

• Customers are solely responsible for security

• Security is not a concern in cloud computing

• Security responsibilities are divided between provider and customer
