Quizlet #6

Question 1

Move applications before changing

Answer 1

AKA Lift and Shift. Brings minimal changes to ways of working within the organization, but once the applications are running in the cloud, they are then ready to be updated more easily than when they were running on-premises

Question 2

Epics

Answer 2

Clearly defined, nonoverlapping workstreams tied back to the four themes and aligned to your stakeholders. The epics situate the work you will be doing within the familiar rebric of people/process/technology. With ht epics, you will design programs to help you solidify your maturity in any given phase or take it to another level.

Question 6

Move applications without changing

Answer 6

Switching to cloud storage to decommission on-premises data centers, or creating virtualized environments for disaster recovery

Question 7

GKE

Answer 7

Google Kubernetes Engine. Application design where applications are developed into individual compartments. Parts of the code can be updated without affecting the whole application. This builds resilience, because one error doesn’t impact the whole application

Question 8

CI/CD

Answer 8

Helps increase your application release velocity and reliability. You can test and roll out changes incrementally. This approach enables you to lower the risk of regressions, debug issues quickly, and roll back to the last stable build if necessary– all without interrupting service for your users

Question 9

Microservice architecture Separating a large application into small, loosely coupled services. This means it’s easy to determine where code needs to be changed and the service can be updated, deployed, and scaled independently

Answer 9

Answer 14

API services, developer services, analytics services

Question 15

3 lenses for managing cloud costs

Answer 15

People, process, technology

Question 16

People in cloud costs

Answer 16

To manage cloud costs effectively, a partnership across finance, technology, and business functions is required. This partnership would consist of several experts who ensure that best practices are in place across the organization and there is visibility into the ongoing cloud spend

Question 17

Process in cloud computing

Answer 17

What cloud resources are being used and by whom? What are the associated resource costs? How do these costs measure against the broader business strategy?

Question 18

Technology in cloud

Answer 18

Tools that enable organizations to gain greater visibility, drive a culture of accountability for cloud spending, control costs to reduce the risk of overspending, and provide intelligent recommendations to optimize costs and usage.

Question 19

Upfront costs for IT Infrastructure

Answer 19

Space and associated costs, Storage systems, Networking, Hardware, Software, and Security systems

Question 20

Best practices and advantages for using available Google Cloud tools for ongoing cost management

Answer 20

Identify the individual or team that will manage costs. Learn the difference between invoices and cost tools. Use cost management tools for accountability.
