How do cloud provider APIs enable programmatic provisioning of application services?

By automatically scaling resources without any external trigger

By providing a graphical dashboard for manual resource management

By allowing scripts and applications to create, modify, and delete cloud resources automatically

By encrypting all data stored in the cloud

A startup wants to offer a self-service portal where developers can request a new application environment. The portal must call the cloud provider's API to create resources and then notify the developer when the environment is ready. Which design best fits this requirement?

A web app that uses the cloud provider's REST API to create resources and a webhook to send notifications.

A support ticket system where developers email requests and IT staff create resources manually.

A script that runs on a developer's laptop and uses the CLI to create resources.

A static web page that links to the cloud provider's management console.

A software vendor builds a multi-tenant SaaS product. Each tenant gets an isolated environment with a database and storage. The vendor wants to automate tenant onboarding and offboarding. They plan to use the cloud provider's API. What is the most important consideration for this design?

Provision all tenants at once to save time.

Use a service principal with least-privilege permissions for API calls.

Use the same resource group for all tenants to simplify management.

Use a single API key for all tenants to reduce complexity.

In the context of on-demand provisioning, what does 'self-service' primarily enable a user to do?

Manage billing and cost allocation for cloud services

Configure network security groups for all resources in a subscription

Automatically scale resources based on predefined policies

Provision resources through a portal or API without requiring IT intervention

A company wants to offer a self-service portal for business users to provision analytics environments. Each environment must include a data warehouse and reporting tools. The environments are short-lived and must be automatically decommissioned after 30 days. Which design best balances automation and governance?

Create a template that provisions the environment and set a lifecycle policy to delete it after 30 days.

Let users provision resources directly in the cloud console and remind them to delete after 30 days.

Use a single shared environment for all users to avoid provisioning overhead.

Require users to submit a ticket and have IT manually create and delete environments.
