One or More Options May Be Correct: Cloud Computing Assignments For Week 2

Cloud computing assignments for week 2 cover topics like virtualization, load balancing, cloud deployment models, XML, and web services. Key points covered include: - Load balancing is an optimization technique used to distribute service requests to resources in the cloud. - Virtualization of storage, applications, and CPUs enables the flexibility and configurability required for cloud computing. - Hybrid and community cloud models are types of cloud deployment models that differ from public and private clouds in their accessibility and ownership. - XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) helps with integration of data models generated using UML and exchanging information about data warehouses.

Cloud Computing Assignments for Week 2

[One or more options may be correct]

Sl Question
No
1
Point out the wrong statement.
(a) Abstraction enables the key benefit of cloud computing: shared, ubiquitous access
(b) Virtualization assigns a logical name for a physical resource and then provides a pointer to
that physical resource when a request is made
c) All cloud computing applications combine their resources into pools that can be assigned on
demand to users
d) None of the above

Ans: c
Solution: Several important cloud computing approaches use a strictly hardware-based
approach to abstraction.
2
The technology used to distribute service requests to resources is referred to as :
a) load performing
b) load scheduling
c) load balancing
d) None of the above
Ans: c
Explanation: Load balancing is an optimization technique.

3 Which of the following type of virtualization is also characteristic of cloud computing ?


a) Storage
b) Application
c) CPU
d) None of the above
Ans: a,b,c
Solution: To enable these characteristics, resources must be highly configurable and flexible.

4
Point out the correct statement :
a) A client can request access to a cloud service from any location
b) A cloud has multiple application instances and directs requests to an instance based on
conditions
c) Computers can be partitioned into a set of virtual machines with each machine being
assigned a workload
d) None of the above
Ans: a,b,c
Solution: Alternatively, systems can be virtualized through load-balancing technologies.

5 XML with correct syntax is "_________" XML


(a) Well Parametarized
(b) Well Formed
(c) Mature
(d) None of these
Ans: b
Solution: An XML document is called well-formed if it satisfies certain rules, specified by the
W3C. These rules are: A well-formed XML document must have a corresponding end tag for all
of its start tags. Nesting of elements within each other in an XML document must be proper.

6
W3C supports an XML-based alternative to DTD, called _______.
(a) XML Schema
(b) HTML DOM
(c) XML Parser
(d) None of these

Ans: a
Solution: XML Schema is commonly known as XML Schema Definition (XSD). It is used to
describe and validate the structure and the content of XML data. XML schema defines the
elements, attributes and data types. Schema element supports Namespaces. It is similar to a
database schema that describes the data in a database.

UDDI Stands for ______________________.
(a) Universal Description, Development and Integration
(b) Universal Description, Discovery and Integration
(c) Universal Development, Design and Integration
(d) Universal Description, Discovery and Interaction

Ans: b
Solution: UDDI is an XML-based standard for describing, publishing, and finding web services.
UDDI stands for Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration. UDDI is a specification for a
distributed registry of web services.

8 The basic Web services platform is combination of _____________ and _____________.


(a) CSS+HTTP
(b) XML+JAVA
(c) XML+HTTP
(d) XML+HTML

Ans: (c)
Solution: XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language. XML was designed to store and transport
data.XML was designed to be both human- and machine-readable. HTTP means HyperText
Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the underlying protocol used by the World Wide Web and this
protocol defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions Web servers
and browsers should take in response to various commands.
9
Which of the following is/are type(s) of deployment model of cloud?
(a) IaaS
(b) PaaS
(c) Hybrid Cloud
(d) Community Cloud
Ans: (c),(d)
Solution: A cloud deployment model is a “configuration” of certain cloud environment
parameters such as the storage size, accessibility and proprietorship. There are four main
cloud deployment models that differ significantly and for which most of the companies opt: a
public, private, hybrid and a community one.
10 XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) helps in
a) Integration of different data models, generated using the Unified Modeling Language (UML)
b) Exchanging information about data warehouses
c) Express a set of rules to which an XML document must conform
d) None of the above
Ans: a,b
