1. What is IAM in cloud? What are challenges in IAM? 2 CO2 BTL1

Identity and access management is a set of technologies that manage user
identities and allow companies to control access to critical resources. The rise of
remote working and SaaS tools make cloud-native IAM a popular option to secure
networks. IAM solutions have various components.

2. Identify the role of Hypervisor in virtualization. 2 CO2 BTL1

Hypervisors support the creation and management of virtual machines (VMs) by
abstracting a computer's software from its hardware. Hypervisors make
virtualization possible by translating requests between the physical and virtual
resources.
3. What is cloud in cloud computing? 2 CO2 BTL1
A network of remote servers, data centers, and software applications
accessible over the internet, allowing users to store, access, and manage
data and resources without needing to manage physical infrastructure.
4. Define Eucalyptus. 2 CO2 BTL1
Eucalyptus CLIs can handle Amazon Web Services and their own private
instances. Clients have the independence to transfer cases from Eucalyptus to
Amazon Elastic Cloud. The virtualization layer oversees the Network, storage,
and Computing. Occurrences are isolated by hardware virtualization.

5. Write role CPU virtuazation. 2 CO2 BTL1

Central processing unit (CPU) virtualization is the fundamental technology that
makes hypervisors, virtual machines, and operating systems possible. It allows a
single CPU to be divided into multiple virtual CPUs for use by multiple VMs.
6. Summarize service offering by AWS. 2 CO2 BTL3
AWS offers a vast array of cloud-based services, including compute, storage,
databases, analytics, networking, security, and more, enabling organizations to
move faster, lower IT costs, and scale their operations.
7. What is Docker in cloud computing? 2 CO2 BTL1
Docker is an open-source platform that enables developers to build, deploy, run,
update and manage containers. Containers are standardized, executable
components that combine application source code with the operating system
(OS) libraries and dependencies required to run that code in any environment.
8. Distingguish between private public and hybrid cloud 2 CO2 BTL1
9. What is the cloud service model risk matrix? 2 CO2 BTL3
A cloud computing risk assessment matrix is a guide that
business IT leaders can use to score their cloud computing
security needs. A number of different matrices are available
from accredited groups to help MSPs and businesses accomplish
this task.
10. Write a note on Benchmarking of cloud service? 2 CO2 BTL1
Benchmarking is a systematic process of evaluating the performance
and value of cloud services using efficiency metrics, either within an
organization or against industry peers.
11a. Illustrate in detail about cloud strategy management Framework and functionalities with
neat diagram.
12a. Explain in detail about the cloud service capacity planning strategies with relevant
examples.

Cloud capacity planning for your startup can sometimes feel like steering a sailboat onto shore
without a lighthouse. There can be lots of uncertainty and guesswork that undermine your confidence.
Fortunately, with the right strategies, you can transform this journey from a daunting task into a
structured roadmap.

Whether you’re a budding startup or an established enterprise, the key to cloud capacity planning lies
in adopting tactical best practices.

Below, we’ll walk you through tried-and-true strategies that demystify cloud capacity planning and
empower you to unlock the full potential of your cloud resources.

1. Regularly review and adjust plans

Cloud environments are dynamic, and your capacity plans need to be, too. Regularly reviewing your
current usage against your forecasts will help you identify trends and make necessary adjustments.

Set up monthly or quarterly review sessions to assess and recalibrate your capacity plans based on
actual usage data.

2. Embrace automation and auto-scaling

Modern cloud platforms offer auto-scaling features that automatically adjust resources based on
demand. This prevents your performance from dropping when there’s a spike in traffic or user
demands.

For example, Autoscaling dynamically adjusts your computing resources based on the current
workload. This helps you meet demands without overpaying for what you don’t need.

3. Invest in monitoring and analytics tools

Without data and analysis, you’re just guessing at your startup’s cloud demands. Real-time
monitoring provides insights into resource utilization, helping in proactive adjustments—AKA
making changes before something goes wrong.

1. What is FREEmium model for cloud service management? 2 CO3 BTL1

The freemium model offers a basic or limited version of a service for free, with
premium features and functionalities available for a subscription fee, aiming to
attract a large user base and convert a portion into paying customers.
2. Discuss the scalability in cloud service management? 2 CO3 BTL1
Refers to the ability of a cloud environment to dynamically adjust
resources (like compute, storage, and network) up or down to meet
changing workload demands, enabling businesses to efficiently manage
costs and optimize performance.
3. What is the meaning of cloud orchestration and significance in cloud service 2 CO3 BTL1
management?
Cloud orchestration automates the management of complex cloud
environments by coordinating tools, applications, and infrastructure
into seamless workflows, improving efficiency and simplifying cloud
service management.
4. What are design challenges of data security in cloud service management? 2 CO3 BTL1

It ensuring data visibility, managing storage, transmission, and

processing, implementing robust access controls, and addressing insider
threats and compliance requirements.
5. Explain the concept of diaster recovery in csm? 2 CO3 BTL1
The ability to restore and maintain critical IT systems and data in the event of a
cyberattack or other disruptive event, ensuring business continuity and minimizing
downtime

workloads. Use auto-scaling and resource provisioning to match your application needs in realtime.
Service Selection: Choose the right cloud services (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and providers (e.g., AWS,
Azure, Google Cloud) that best fit your requirements. Evaluate their offerings, pricing models, and
ecosystem.
Architecture Design: Create a well-architected cloud environment that considers factors like high
