You are speaking with an IBM MQ client, and you are showing
them the benefits of IBM Event Automation. They ask why
they need Event Automation if they already have IBM MQ. How
can you respond?

Using IBM MQ lets you capture data persistently. With

Event Automation applications can run processing tasks.
Together they are what is necessary to achieve fully
mature event-driven architecture that businesses need to
be adaptable and innovative in the modern market.

Event Automation delivers snapshots of your systems and

business and makes them temporarily available to live
consumers. Using both Event Automation and MQ enables
communications flowing over MQ to be shared across the
enterprise unlike with stand-alone MQ.
Event Automation captures a continuous stream of events
across the business environment and makes them
persistently available. Using both Event Automation and
MQ enables communications flowing over MQ to be
captured as events and shared across the enterprise.

Using IBM MQ lets you capture a continuous stream of 

data persistently. With Event Automation applications
have a platform to request and coordinate processing
tasks. Together they give the business an overall
picture of what is happening through messages and
events.

After presenting IBM Event Automation to a retail client, the

CEO of the company says, "I understand Event Streams is the
core of an event-driven enterprise, but what does Event
Processing do?" How would you respond?

Event Processing takes pre-processed events and makes

them relevant to a business context, so users can be
empowered to work with events to identify and act on
situations in the moment.

You are working with a client that has an existing Cloud Pak
for Integration (CP4I) deployment and they are looking to add
Event Automation to their deployment. What two ways can
they do this?

CP4I clients can temporarily shift entitlements for Event

entitlements.

CP4I clients can rent to own a perpetual Event

Automation license through additional monthly payments
or purchase additional entitlements.

CP4I as a Service clients can subscribe to Event

Automation and on-premises clients can purchase
additional entitlements.

You are in an engagement with a client where the client is

complaining that IBM is missing event distribution capabilities
in their offering. How do you respond?

Competitors will point to some proprietary capabilities

that IBM Event Streams does not provide, such as stretch
clusters and tiered storage. IBM will continue to work in
the community to add important features in the open.
IBM has found that most clients do not require the more
niche features being highlighted.
IBM Event Streams includes Kafka Connect, opening a
vast set of community connectors. IBM directly supports
a subset of commonly used connectors, and they can add
to this quickly based on demand. Customers with access
to IBM App Connect can also take advantage of its large
array of industry and technology connectors.
IBM’s roadmap includes investments to expand the Event
Integration portfolio to include stream processing
capabilities. This will be delivered using well established
open technologies in line with IBM’s overall approach.
IBM will also provide a low code user experience to
broaden the range of users that can take advantage of
this.
Competitors may point to Event Streams being 
restricted to RedHat OpenShift deployment only.
IBM’s roadmap includes expanding platform support
to deploy RedHat UBI containers to other Kubernetes
implementations. Some competitors support bare
metal deployment, but this has not emerged as an
important requirement expressed by the market.

You are currently working with a client that is ready to

purchase IBM Event Automation. From talks with that client
they are interested in starting off with maybe one or two
production projects. Knowing this, how many VPCs (Virtual
Processor Cores) should they get licenses for?

53 VPCs
28 VPCs 
9 VPCs
87 VPCs

Question 17

Correct

Points out of 1.00

You are meeting with a potential client at a local restaurant.

They complain to you that their inventory ordering system is
too slow. They have to wait until the end of the day to
determine what is needed, meaning stock often runs out. You
realize that this is a perfect use case for event-driven
architecture. How do you respond to the client?

With event-driven architecture you can create 

dynamic shipments based on revenue opportunities
and where items are running out.
With event-driven architecture you can get real-time
customer feedback to identify when you start running out
of stock.
With event-driven architecture you can optimize logistics
to ensure that orders come in on time, so that there is
never a shortage of stock.
With event-driven architecture you can create personal
offers based on buying habits and order history, so you
can forget about inventory.

In a client meeting, you are presenting the components of

IBM Event Automation to the Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
of the organization: Event Processing, Event Endpoint
Management, and Event Streams. The CTO is interested in this
IBM offering, but asks you if they need to purchase all the
components. How would you respond?

IBM Event Automation is a fully managed solution, so

clients can only buy the whole package with all three
components included.

Event streaming is the foundation of IBM Event

Automation, so this is the component that client must
purchase. The other two components are optional.
Event Endpoint Management is optional, but Event
Processing and Event Streams are required to purchase
IBM Event Automation.

IBM Event Automation is a fully composable solution, 

so clients can purchase one, two, or all three of its
components.

You understand resilience is very important for the banking

client you are going to meet tomorrow. How would you
describe the enhanced resilience of Event Streams to your
client?

Event Streams has enhanced resilience with clusters

across multiple zones that must have at least 3 zones and
works in different manners so that risks can be
diversified.
Event Streams has enhanced resilience with clusters
across 2 zones and cannot tolerate failure of a zone with
no service degradation.

Event Streams has enhanced resilience with clusters

across two zones and works in a similar manner as if
brokers are deployed within single zone.
Event Streams has enhanced resilience with clusters 

across multiple zones that must have at least 3 zones

and can tolerate failure of a zone with no service
degradation.

Question 23

Correct

enterprise-grade Apache Kafka.

Build a collection of private event sources for users to

securely browse and utilize.

Build a self-service catalog of event sources for users 

to securely browse and utilize.

Your client is interested in Event Streams, but is concerned

about having a simple disaster recovery (DR) solution. How
would you respond?

The geo-replication feature in Event Streams makes DR

simple, as it synchronizes data between clients' clusters
typically located in different geographical locations.

The geo-replication feature in Event Streams makes DR

simple, as it is based on IBM project Mirror Maker 3 with a
more seamless user experience.
The region-mirroring feature in Event Streams makes DR
simple, as it is not based on any open-source project but
an IBM innovation.

The region-mirroring feature in Event Streams makes 

DR simple, as it creates copies of all topics
automatically that clients don't even need to select.

Question 25

Correct

Points out of 1.00

You are talking with a client that is thinking of using Solace as

their event-driven architecture solution. What can you say to
change their mind?

Solace has enterprise support on AWS S3 along with

secret provider connectors, but they lack proper
documentation and set up is complicated.

Solace's event mesh facilitates sharing messages from 

any location, but has a complicated setup and
operation.
Solace is very inexpensive, but they have an inactive
community and support is often delayed.
Solace provides a strong order guarantee due to their
message-by-message communication, but does not have
dynamic message translation.
