Question 1

Hypervisor

Answer 1

A hypervisor is a software or firmware layer that enables the virtualization of physical hardware

Question 2

IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)

Answer 2

IaaS provides virtualized computing resources over the internet. It offers virtualized computing resources, such as virtual machines, storage, and networking, on a pay-per-use basis.

Question 3

PaaS (Platform as a Service)

Answer 3

PaaS provides a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and manage applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure. It typically includes tools for building, testing, and deploying applications.

Question 4

SaaS (Software as a Service)

Answer 4

SaaS delivers software applications over the internet on a subscription basis. Users access the software through a web browser without needing to install or maintain it locally.

Question 5

Container

Answer 5

A container is a lightweight, portable, and self-sufficient package that contains everything needed to run a piece of software, including code, runtime, system tools, libraries, and settings

Question 6

Compute

Answer 6

Compute refers to the processing power needed to perform tasks in a computing environment. It includes CPU, memory, and other resources required to execute applications and processes.

Question 7

Storage

Answer 7

Storage refers to the resources used to store and manage data in a computing environment. It includes various types of storage devices, such as hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), and cloud storage services.

Question 8

Management Plane

Answer 8

The management plane is the component of a network or system responsible for controlling and managing its operation. It typically includes tools and interfaces for configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting.

Question 9

DevOps (Development and Operations)

Answer 9

DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery of high-quality software.

Question 10

DevSecOps (Development, Security, and Operations)

Answer 10

DevSecOps extends DevOps principles to include security practices throughout the software development life cycle. It emphasizes integrating security into every stage of development and operations processes.

Question 11

Software Defined Network (SDN)

Answer 11

network management that enables dynamic and programmatically efficient network configuration to improve network performance and monitoring in a manner more akin to cloud computing than to traditional network management

Question 12

Microsegmentation

Answer 12

Microsegmentation is a network security technique that divides network traffic into smaller, isolated segments or zones, enabling organizations to enforce granular security policies and contain lateral movement of threats within the network.

Question 13

Immutable Workloads

Answer 13

Immutable workloads refer to computing instances or containers that are deployed in a state that cannot be changed or modified after deployment. Any updates or changes require the creation of a new instance or container rather than modifying the existing one

Question 14

Business Continuity

Answer 14

Business continuity (BC) refers to the processes, strategies, and plans organizations put in place to ensure that essential business functions can continue during and after a disruptive event, such as natural disasters, cyber attacks, or technology failures.

Question 15

Disaster Recovery

Answer 15

Disaster recovery (DR) refers to the process of restoring and recovering IT systems, data, and infrastructure after a disruptive event, such as natural disasters, cyber attacks, or equipment failures, to minimize downtime and restore normal operations.

Question 16

RTO (Recovery Time Objective)

Answer 16

Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the maximum tolerable duration of time that a business process or IT service can be unavailable after a disruptive event before significant consequences are incurred.

Question 17

RPO (Recovery Point Objective)

Answer 17

Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is the maximum acceptable amount of data loss that an organization is willing to tolerate after a disruptive event, measured in terms of time.
