Question

Difficulty: MediumSecurity, Governance, and Manageability

A university is migrating its student information system to a cloud environment. The administration wants to ensure the platform provides robust security, governance, and manageability for all departments. Which two statements describe the security, governance, or manageability benefits of cloud computing?

  1. Cloud governance provides tools like resource templates and automated policies to ensure all deployed workloads remain compliant with organizational standards.Answer
  2. Cloud manageability allows administrators to deploy, monitor, and configure resources using command-line interfaces, web portals, and APIs.Answer
  3. C
    When deploying databases using Platform as a Service (PaaS), the customer is responsible for managing the operating system security updates and patching.
  4. D
    To enforce governance, any resource deployed within a cloud environment automatically inherits the tags applied to its parent resource group.

Answer

The correct statements are that cloud governance provides tools like resource templates and automated policies to ensure compliance, and cloud manageability allows administrators to deploy, monitor, and configure resources using command-line interfaces, web portals, and APIs.
Governance benefits include using tools like templates and policies to maintain compliance, while manageability allows administrators to control and monitor resources using tools like portals, CLI, and APIs.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Evaluate the statements describing cloud governance and manageability features.
The statements highlighting declarative templates/policies and administration tools (portals, CLI, APIs) are correct.
These directly align with how governance and manageability are implemented in cloud environments to manage resource compliance and operations.
2
Analyze the remaining options to identify misconceptions about PaaS and tag inheritance.
Operating system patching in PaaS is a provider responsibility, and tag inheritance is not automatic.
Eliminating these incorrect options confirms the correct choices.
