Questions and Answers

What benefit does cloud computing offer in terms of IT infrastructure expansion compared to traditional datacenters?

  • Cloud computing strictly limits the amount of IT infrastructure a company can use to ensure cost efficiency.
  • Cloud computing mandates a complete overhaul of existing IT infrastructure, requiring significant upfront investment.
  • Cloud computing requires all data to be stored on local servers, increasing the need for physical storage space.
  • Cloud computing allows for rapid scaling of IT resources without the delays associated with building new physical datacenters. (correct)

Which of the following is a foundational element of cloud computing?

  • Delivering computing services through the internet. (correct)
  • Building and maintaining on-site datacenters.
  • Exclusively using physical servers for data storage.
  • Relying solely on local hardware for all processing needs.

Besides virtual machines and databases, which emerging technologies are now commonly offered as part of cloud services?

  • Advanced robotics and nanomanufacturing.
  • Teleportation systems and holographic projections.
  • Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI). (correct)
  • Quantum cryptography and blockchain development.

A company wants to rapidly deploy a machine learning model to analyze customer data but lacks the physical infrastructure. How can cloud computing address this need most effectively?
