What is the cloud service that automatically distributes incoming traffic across multiple instances (or targets) to ensure high availability and fault tolerance?
Load Balancer
100
What are the three main storage options in the cloud?
block/disk storage, object storage, and file storage
100
What is the purpose of a VPC in cloud computing?
Network Isolation, Security, and Controlling access (Stating any of these will count as a correct answer))
100
What is the term use to describe manually provisioning Cloud Resources? It is slow, ineffective, and prone to error. We normally want to avoid this process.
Click-Ops

Which type of virtual machine is best suited for general-purpose workloads such as web hosting, small databases, testing environments, and a variety of common applications?
General purpose

You are needing to archive older documents to adhere to regulation requirements. You also need to ensure the contents of documents cannot be altered or changed in anyway. What storage type should you use?
Object storage
200
What IP Address type consist of public and private IP addresses.
IPv4
200
This Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool that enables users to define and provision infrastructure resources in a declarative and programmatic manner.
Developers can manage and automate the deployment and configuration of infrastructure components.
Terraform
300
Which type of virtual machine is designed for high-performance computing tasks, such as scientific simulations, batch processing, and other compute-intensive workloads?
Compute-Optimized Virtual Machine
300
In the cloud, what type of storage is best for storing and accessing data that requires low latency and is directly attached to a running virtual machine?
Block Storage/ Disk
300
In a cloud network, what is used to divide a larger network into smaller, isolated sections for better management and security?
Subnets
300
What is the main benefit of using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) when deploying cloud resources?
It allows you to automate, manage, and deploy infrastructure through code instead of manual processes.
(Any of these will suffice)
400
Which class of virtual machines is architected to leverage parallel processing capabilities for workloads requiring massive computational throughput, such as deep learning model training, high-performance data analytics, scientific visualization, and advanced 3D rendering?
GPU Optimized

You have a application that is hosted on a VM. The application is generating data that is being stored on a disk/volume. Someone without your knowledge stops the VM, resulting in all the data being lost. Why was the data lost?
The VM was using an ephemeral storage volumes. Ephemeral storage does not persist beyond the life of the instance.
400
What type of cloud network configuration allows you to control inbound and outbound traffic to your virtual machines based on specific rules?
Firewall Rules

You have updated your terraform code, and previewed the changes. What should you now do to update your your cloud infrastructure?
`terraform apply` command
500
In cloud-native architectures, what fundamental execution and scaling model underlies services like AWS Lambda and GCP Cloud Run, and how does it differ from traditional VM- or container-based deployments?
They operate on a serverless, event-driven execution model where compute resources are provisioned on demand, scale automatically at a function or request level, and remain stateless. Unlike traditional VM or container deployments, developers don’t manage servers or persistent infrastructure, enabling fine-grained scaling and cost efficiency.”

What kind of data is typically stored in NoSQL database?
unstructured or semi-structured data
(Real-time data, IoT sensor data, game state data, logs, session data, content management data, or recommendation engine data.)
500
In a cloud environment, which security feature can be used to define which traffic is allowed to reach an instance, based on attributes like IP address and port?
Security Groups

As your team grows, you want to ensure secure and collaborative management of your infrastructure's state in Terraform. Which Terraform feature provides a centralized and consistent location to store and manage the current state of your infrastructure?
Terraform State File
