What is the primary purpose of application bursting in a cloud computing environment?

To permanently relocate an application from an on-premises data center to a public cloud provider

To replicate an application across multiple geographic regions for disaster recovery purposes

To dynamically extend an application's capacity into additional resources, such as a public cloud, during periods of increased demand

To automatically fail over an application to a secondary site if the primary site becomes unavailable

A company is planning to burst a web application to a public cloud. The application uses sticky sessions (session affinity) to maintain user state on a specific server. The company wants to ensure that during the burst, users are consistently directed to the same server, whether it is on-premises or in the cloud. What is the most important configuration to achieve this?

Use a different DNS name for cloud instances

Configure BIG-IP LTM to use a persistence profile that tracks session state across both environments

Use a round-robin load balancing algorithm

Disable health checks on the cloud instances

A company runs a web application on its on-premises infrastructure. During a seasonal sales event, traffic spikes to 10x normal for a few hours. The company wants to handle this spike without permanently expanding its on-premises capacity. Which approach best describes what the company is planning?

Application bursting — extending the workload into a public cloud during the spike and returning to on-premises after.

Application mobility — moving the entire application to the cloud permanently.

Elasticity — automatically scaling the on-premises servers to handle the load.

Migration — relocating the application to a different on-premises data center.

In the context of cloud computing, what does the term 'workload' refer to?

The physical server hardware that hosts virtual machines in a data center

The total amount of data stored in a cloud storage account

The number of users accessing a cloud service at any given time

A specific application, service, or capability that runs on computing resources

A company is implementing application bursting. They need to automate the provisioning of cloud resources when the on-premises load exceeds a threshold. Which automation requirement is essential for this bursting scenario?

A dedicated network engineer to configure the cloud VPC

A static list of cloud VM IP addresses

A manual runbook for administrators to follow

Infrastructure as code (IaC) templates that can deploy cloud resources on demand
