A cloud administrator needs to be alerted when CPU utilization on a critical virtual machine exceeds 90% for more than 10 minutes. Which monitoring approach should be used?

Configure a metric alert on the VM's CPU utilization

Manually check the VM's CPU usage every hour

Review the VM's log files at the end of the day

Use a network monitoring tool to check bandwidth

A security policy requires that all data stored in the cloud be encrypted. Which configuration should be applied to provisioned storage resources?

Disable public access to the storage

A company is designing a multi-tier application with a web front end, an application layer, and a database. They need to choose cloud resources for each tier. The web tier must handle variable traffic, the application tier requires a consistent runtime environment, and the database tier needs high availability. Which set of resources should they provision?

A single large virtual machine for all tiers.

A load balancer, a virtual machine for the application tier, and a database on the same VM.

A serverless function for the web tier, a container service for the application tier, and a managed database service with replication.

A container service for the web tier, a serverless function for the application tier, and a managed database without replication.

A company expects a threefold increase in web traffic during the holiday season. Which scalability approach is most appropriate to handle the predictable increase?

Vertical scaling by increasing the size of existing VMs

Horizontal scaling by adding more virtual machines

Reduce the number of VMs to save costs

Do nothing and hope the infrastructure handles it

A company has been running a production workload on a virtual machine with 8 vCPUs and 32 GB RAM. Monitoring shows that CPU utilization averages 15% and memory utilization averages 40%. The workload is stable and does not experience spikes. What should the company do to optimize costs?

Resize the VM to a smaller size, such as 2 vCPUs and 8 GB RAM.

Add more vCPUs to improve performance.

Move the workload to a serverless function.

Keep the current VM size to ensure performance headroom for future growth.
