Q

PaaS

A

Platform as a service

Used to developer and deliver apps
Delivers software tools and development environments to users as a service

You don’t need to invest in infrastructure as your subscription provides it

Can create multiple VMs for testing and implementation

Q

IaaS

A

Infrastructure as a Service

Provides items like
VMs
OS
Networking devices 
Security

Is the lowest level of service

You can creat VMs to represent networking devices

Keeping hardware current is provider responsibility but management of software versions and updates is client responsibility

Is a subscription service

Q

Private Cloud

A

Uses proprietary infrastructure dedicated to a single organisation

Ideal for dynamic or unpredictable computing needs

You don’t need to provide me infrastructure for branch offices as they can connect to the available corporate infrastructure

Organisation manages and implements everything

16
Q

Public cloud disadvantages

A

Limited control over privacy and security

Limited flexibility as the platform is provider dependant

17
Q

Hybrid cloud

A

Combination of Private and Public

Helps maximise efficiency and performance

18
Q

Hybrid cloud advantages

A

Scalable
Cost effective
Good flexibility

19
Q

Hybrid cloud disadvantages

A

Infrastructure dependant
Possible compatibility issues
Security breach possible when using public cloud component

20
Q

VPN

A

Virtual private network

Simple option for connecting to a cloud provider

VPN application or native VPN usually provides

Provider might charge for transmission of data.

21
Q

Direct connection

A

More practical

Provider can use CP located facilities to offer direct and private connections

Data creatures will offer cords connection to the public cloud with costs infrastructure use age and port

Most provide unlimited data which lowers the per GB cost

Subscription oriented

22
Q

IaaS risk factors

A

Legal trans border issues depending one data centre location

Failure of infrastructure and how isolated you are from them

Back up and security measures are dependant in what the data centre uses

Physical data centre security

Data disposal

23
Q

PaaS risk factors

A

Application mapping theft and disclosure

Service architecture vulnerability

Application disposal of original files or back ups as you love from testing to production

24
Q

SaaS risk factors

A

Data ownerships as it’s not physically under your control

Data disposal

Software system development life cycle

Identity and access management

Browser vulnerability

25
Q

Public cloud data pooling

A

Infrastructure shared by multiple tenants

No common concern with security

26
Q

Public cloud collateral damage

A

Attack on one remnant could impact other tenants

How isolated are you if a service fails?

27
Q

Private cloud application compatibility issues

A

Older apps

Custom software

28
Q

Private cloud investment

A

Skills needed
Training
Recruitment
Infrastructure maintenance

29
Q

Hybrid cloud inter dependency

A

Mix of two of more cloud types require static identity control
Strong credentials

Risks are

Unavailable
Loss
Theft

30
Q

IPAN

A

IP Address Management

Provides IPv4 and 6 infrastructure management of DNS and DHCP severs

Allows management from a central location

Is an integrated management of IP space with customisable inventory of address space.

Usage alerts and notifications and thresholds for servers

31
Q

What is IPAM

A

Is a multi server management environment used to

Discover DNS/DHCP servers across active directory forests

Config support of DHCP severs and scopes

Updates for common settings across DHCP server

Monitor DHCP scope and DNS

manual addition or removal of managed servers

32
Q

IPAM network audit

A

A quietly event log for DHCP configuration changes using a single console

Can see who is doing what to any changes.

Create queries to track Users, Devices, IP Addresses at specific times

Can export audits to create reports

Help resolve configuration problems

33
Q

IPAM roll based control

A

Customise types of operations and access permissions of specific IPAM objects

Had standard groups for

Local IPAM security group
Build in IPAM role based access group
Custom IPAM role based group

It’s defines group permissions and which users should belong to each group

34
Q

IPAM VASM

A

IPAM virtual Andreas Space

Enables the same fun around as VIP as address space management (ASM) for physical IP address space

Implemented for server clusters and load balancing
