Section 2.2 Virtualization and Cloud Computing Concepts Flashcards
What do you call a distributed web service that allows network services to be distributed from a central web based cloud?
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing uses _________ to keep all devices updated.
syncing
Cloud computing allows software to be run as what kind of application?
A web-based application
What concept was developed to improve the response time of very bandwidth-intensive, speed dependent activities by bringing the content to devices that are closer to the end user?
Edge computing
What concept places a layer between edge devices and the cloud and takes all the data from the edge devices and decides what should be sent to the cloud?
Fog computing
What are MSP’s?
Managed Service Provider
What are MSSP’s?
Managed Security Service Provider
What cloud service model provides the ability to quickly stand up VM’s, storage devices, and other infrastructure that would otherwise require the purchase of physical devices?
IaaS
What is a CSP?
Cloud Service Provider
What cloud service model provides the framework of an operating system and associated software required to perform a function (ex: Linux OS and components needed to run a web server)?
PaaS
What cloud service model allows a customer to essential lease a software, such as applications and databases, thus enabling rapid rollout to the greater user community?
Software as a Service
What CLOUD SERVICE MODEL allows an organization to offload its security monitoring and administration to a 3rd party provider on a subscription model?
SECaaS
What concept tracks all service providers in one place to ensure maximum return on value?
SIAM
What is SIAM
Services and Integration Management
What cloud deployment model is available only to one organization and can be managed either internally by the organization or externally by a third party?
Private Cloud
What cloud deployment model is available to the greater public, with security segmentation between users?
Public Cloud
What cloud deployment model is created when two or more organizations create a mutual cloud?
Community Cloud
What cloud deployment model combines two or more different cloud deployment models (private + community cloud = ?)
Hybrid Cloud
What cloud deployment model offers an organization the ability to provision a logically isolated section and launch resources in a virtual network as defined by the organization’s requirements?
Virtual Private Cloud
What do you call a network transit hub that connects the VPC and on-premises networks?
Transit Gateway
What technology concept allows computer desktops or servers to host and run additional virtual computers?
Virtualization Technology
What concept is the managing and provisioning of infrastructure through code, using configuration files that contain infrastructure specifications?
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
What concept is networking that uses software-based controllers or API’s to communicate with underlying hardware infrastructure and direct traffic on a network?
Software-defined Networking
What concept pulls feeds from network and security data collection and analysis tools into one seamless visibility fabric?
Software-defined Visibility
Virtual systems provide improved security, high availability, and better disaster recovery by?
running as a separate processes on the same hardware
What concept allows resources to be divided as needed with minimum or no down time?
Elasticity
What do you call a collection of small services coupled together that operate on top of a well-defined application programming interface, allowing more rapid software developments with easier integration?
Microservices
What do you call an application that creates and runs VM’s?
Hypervisors
What type of hypervisors are basically an OS designed to run VM’s?
Type 1 Hypervisor
What type of hypervisors run as an application on top of an OS, often used in small environments?
Type 2 Hypervisors
One risk of virtualization is that the host machine represents what?
A single point of failure
What is it called when VM’s get out of hand?
VM Sprawl
What do you call an attack that attempts to break out of the VM environment and attack the hypervisor, or even the host operating system?
VM Escape
What do you call the creation of discrete services that may be accessed by users in a black box fashion?
Service Oriented Architecture
What do you call fine-grained services with a discrete function?
Microservices
What do you call a set of exposed interfaces that allow programmatic interaction between services?
API’s
What do you call a network architecture approach that enables the network to be intelligently and centrally controlled, or ‘programmed’ using software?
SDN (Software Defined Networks)
How do you secure Software Defined Networking?
with TLS
What do you call a cloud computing execution model where the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation and provisioning of servers?
Serverless Architecture
What do you call the provisioning of multiple business services combined with different IT services to provide a single business solution?
Services Integration
What do you call policies that state what level of access someone has to data or a particular resource?
Resource Policies
What do you call a network hub that acts as a regional virtual router to interconnect virtual private clouds (VPC) and VPN connections?
Transit Gateway
