Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK v5.0) Questions and Answers
Question 85
In the context of cloud workload security, which feature directly contributes to enhanced performance and resource utilization without incurring excess costs?
Options:
A.
Fixed resource allocations
B.
Unlimited data storage capacity
C.
Increased on-premise hardware
D.
Elasticity of cloud resources
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Elasticity of cloud resources is a key feature that directly contributes to enhanced performance and resource utilization while avoiding excess costs. Cloud elasticity allows resources (such as compute power, storage, and network bandwidth) to automatically scale up or down based on demand. This ensures that organizations are only using the resources they need at any given time, optimizing both performance and cost-efficiency.
Fixed resource allocations do not provide the flexibility needed to optimize resource utilization and can lead to either over-provisioning (wasting resources) or under-provisioning (affecting performance). Unlimited data storage capacity is not typical in all cloud environments and does not directly impact resource optimization or performance. Increased on-premise hardware is unrelated to cloud workload security, as it refers to traditional, non-cloud infrastructure.
Question 86
What type of logs record interactions with specific services in a system?
Options:
A.
(Service and Application Logs
B.
Security Logs
C.
Network Logs
D.
Debug Logs
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Service and Application Logs record interactions with specific services within a system. These logs track how users and systems interact with various applications and services, such as API calls, service requests, and responses. They are essential for monitoring service performance, troubleshooting issues, and auditing service usage.
Security Logs primarily focus on security-related events, such as unauthorized access attempts or security breaches. Network Logs capture network traffic data and information about the movement of data across a network. Debug Logs are typically used for debugging purposes and may include detailed technical information, but they do not specifically track service interactions like service and application logs do.
