Questions and Answers

What is the primary reason for partitioning data in cloud applications?

  • To enhance data security by encrypting each partition separately
  • To reduce storage costs by compressing data into smaller partitions
  • To improve performance and scalability by distributing data across multiple nodes (correct)
  • To simplify data backups by creating smaller, independent data sets

How are partitions defined in data partitioning?

  • Each partition contains a complete copy of the entire data set
  • Each partition contains a random subset of the data
  • Each partition contains overlapping subsets of the data
  • Each piece of data belongs to exactly one partition (correct)

Which operation is often combined with partitioning to enhance data availability?

  • Indexing
  • Normalization
  • Replication (correct)
  • Compression
