1) Which of the following statements best describes fog computing? 1 point
course work?
() a) Fog computing refers to a model where data, processing, and applications are
concentrated in the cloud rather than at the network edge.
Week 0 ()
b) Fog computing is a term introduced by Cisco Systems to describe a model that
centralizes data processing in the cloud to manage wireless data transfer to distributed IoT
Week 1 ()
devices.
c) Fog computing is a model where data, processing, and applications are concentrated in
Week 2 ()
devices at the network edge rather than existing almost entirely in the cloud.

Week 3 () d) The vision of fog computing is to enable applications on a few connected devices to run
directly in the cloud without interaction at the network edge.
Week 4 ()
2) Which of the following challenges is most effectively addressed by using fog and edge 1 point
Week 5 () computing instead of a "cloud-only" approach for IoT applications?

a) Resource management issues related to workload balance and task scheduling in cloud-
Week 6 ()
based environments.

Week 7 () b) The inefficiency of processing time-sensitive applications directly in the cloud due to high
latency and large data bandwidth requirements.
Week 8 () c) The need for improved security and privacy features in cloud-based systems, which are
not addressed by fog and edge computing.
Week 9 () d) The difficulty in integrating multiple cloud services and platforms for comprehensive IoT
data management.

8) What is the primary purpose of offloading in the context of edge computing? 1 point
Assessment submitted.
X a) To move all data processing from edge nodes to the cloud.
b) To augment computing requirements by moving servers, applications, and associated
data closer to the network edge.
c) To reduce the number of user devices connected to the network.
d) To centralize all computational resources in the cloud for better performance.

9) What is the primary goal of a cloud federation? 1 point

a) To centralize all cloud services under a single provider.

b) To deploy and manage multiple cloud services to meet business needs by collaborating
among different Cloud Service Providers (CSPs).
c) To limit the geographical reach of cloud services.
d) To reduce the number of cloud service providers globally.

10) Which of the following is a key benefit of forming a cloud federation? 1 point

a) Centralized control of global cloud services.

b) Increased resource utilization and load balancing across multiple Cloud Service Providers
(CSPs).
c) Reduced collaboration among Cloud Service Providers.
d) Limiting the geographical footprint of Cloud Service Providers.
