Which of the following are properties related to a private cloud? (Select 2)
C, E
Explanation:
The properties related to a private cloud are high CAPEX and full control. CAPEX stands for capital
expenditure, which is the money spent on acquiring or upgrading physical assets such as servers,
storage, and network equipment. A private cloud requires high CAPEX because the cloud owner has
to invest in building and maintaining the cloud infrastructure. Full control means that the cloud
owner has the exclusive authority and responsibility over the cloud resources, security, and
operations. A private cloud offers full control because the cloud owner can customize the cloud
according to their specific needs and preferences, and can ensure the privacy and compliance of their
data and applications. Reference:

Which of the following are Software as a Service? (Select 2)
A, D
Explanation:
Software as a Service (SaaS) is a cloud computing offering that provides users with access to a
vendor's cloud-based software. Users do not install applications on their local devices. Instead, the
applications reside on a remote cloud network accessed through the web or an API. Within this
context, Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) is considered a form of SaaS, where the service provider
manages the database's installation, maintenance, backup, and scaling needs on behalf of the
customer. Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) provides a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and
manage applications without dealing with the complexity of building and maintaining the
infrastructure typically associated with developing and launching an app. PaaS can include various
software components, including database management systems, and thus can be considered a
subset of SaaS.

Which one of the following requires a Network Service Descriptor defined in a catalog?
B
Explanation:
A Network Service Descriptor (NSD) is a template that defines the characteristics and requirements
of a network service, such as the number and type of virtual network functions (VNFs), the
connectivity and topology between them, the scaling policies, and the service level agreements1
.
A
NSD is defined in a catalog that is managed by the cloud orchestration layer, which is responsible for
deploying, monitoring, and controlling the network services across the distributed cloud2
.
Therefore,
cloud orchestration requires a NSD defined in a catalog, while the other options do
not. Reference: 1

Nokia Bell Labs Distributed Cloud Networks, Unit 3: Cloud Resource Planning,
Topic: Network Service Descriptor Role 2
:
Nokia Bell Labs Distributed Cloud Networks
, Unit 4:
Operating Your Cloud, Topic: Cloud Orchestration
A Network Service Descriptor (NSD) is an integral part of network function virtualization (NFV)
architecture. It describes the composition of network services, including how different network
functions are chained or combined to provide a specific service. Cloud orchestration involves the
automated management of various cloud computing services and resources, including networking
services. It requires a comprehensive description of these services (i.e., NSD) to automate their
deployment, scaling, and management effectively. NSD in a catalog would be used to define the
parameters and configurations needed for the orchestrated service to be deployed in a cloud
environment, making cloud orchestration the most likely context for requiring an NSD.
What are the three key drivers required for video-based service in on-premise cloud? (Select 3)
B, C, D
Explanation:
Latency, Privacy and Capacity are the three key drivers required for video-based service in on-
premise cloud. Latency refers to the delay between the source and the destination of a video stream,
which affects the quality of experience for the end-users. Privacy refers to the protection of the video
content and the user data from unauthorized access or leakage. Capacity refers to the ability of the
network and the cloud to handle the high bandwidth and storage demands of video applications. On-
premise cloud is a cloud deployment model where the cloud infrastructure is located within the
enterprise premises, and is managed by the enterprise or a third-party service provider. On-premise
cloud can offer lower latency, higher privacy and greater capacity for video-based service than public
cloud, which is located outside the enterprise premises and is shared by multiple
tenants. Reference:

Which of the following are benefits of life cycle management?
C
Explanation:
All life cycle stages are clearly identified. Comprehensive Explanation and Reference of Correct
Answer: Life cycle management is the process of managing the
Explanation:development, deployment, operation, and decommissioning of cloud applications and
services. It involves defining the requirements, design, testing, deployment, monitoring, scaling,
updating, and retiring of cloud resources. One of the benefits of life cycle management is that it
provides clarity and visibility into the different stages of the cloud service, from inception to
termination. This helps to ensure quality, efficiency, security, and reliability of the cloud service, as
well as to optimize the use of resources and reduce costs.

What is Service as a Service
(SaaS)?
SaaS within cloud computing primarily stands for Software as a Service, which delivers software
applications over the internet on a subscription basis. It allows users to connect to and use cloud-
based apps over the Internet, such as email, calendaring, and office tools (like Microsoft Office 365).
Security as a Service (SECaaS) is an outsourcing model for security management. Typically,
businesses utilize this service for functions like anti-virus software, intrusion detection, and
authentication. SECaaS is also considered a type of SaaS where security services are delivered
remotely via the internet. Therefore, both Software as a Service and Security as a Service are correct
answers, emphasizing the diversity of services provided through the SaaS model beyond just
software applications.

Which of the following are characteristics of traditional monolithic services. (Select 2)
A, C
Explanation:
The characteristics of traditional monolithic services are low scalability and fixed capacity. Monolithic
services are applications that are built as a single unit, where all the components are tightly coupled
and run in the same process. This makes them hard to scale, as they require more resources and
coordination to handle increased demand. Monolithic services also have fixed capacity, as they are
designed for a specific workload and cannot adapt to changing requirements or traffic patterns.
Monolithic services are often slow to deploy, as they require updating the entire application for any
change or improvement. Reference: [Cloud Native applications design], [Microservices and
Containerization]
