  1. What does a P2V conversion do?

    Answer: Turns a physical server into a virtual machine

    Physical-to-virtual (P2V) migration captures a physical server's workload as a VM.

  2. Which tool is most commonly used to orchestrate large numbers of containers across a cluster?

    Answer: Kubernetes

    Kubernetes automates deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

  3. An agency becomes heavily dependent on one cloud provider's proprietary services, making it costly to move elsewhere. What is this risk called?

    Answer: Vendor lock-in

    Vendor lock-in happens when proprietary dependencies make switching providers difficult or expensive.

  4. Which security control best protects sensitive patient care data stored in cloud object storage?

    Answer: Encryption at rest with customer-managed keys

    Encryption at rest with controlled keys keeps data unreadable without authorization.

  5. In a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployment, where does the user's desktop actually run?

    Answer: On a centralized server or cloud host

    VDI hosts desktops centrally and streams them to endpoint devices.

  6. Which serverless model runs code only when triggered by an event, such as a new alert arriving?

    Answer: Function as a Service (FaaS)

    FaaS runs short-lived functions in response to events with no server management.

  7. What is the purpose of a load balancer placed in front of several cloud web servers?

    Answer: To distribute incoming traffic and route around unhealthy servers

    Load balancers spread requests and use health checks to avoid failed nodes.
