A large IT organization has committed to transition to ITaaS.
What changes would need to happen in the IT organization to adopt this model?
- A . IT organization would move from a strategic business partner to a cost center view
- B . All the products and services would be delivered by the lines of business (LOBs)
- C . New service related roles and responsibilities would emerge to support the model
- D . Business users would acquire services that meet their needs quickly only through IT
You have been asked by a company to help drive IT efficiency, focusing specifically on direct, short-term activities.
What would you recommend?
- A . Begin development of a self-service portal for the business to develop and deploy applications
- B . Attempt to consolidate vendors of hardware and software running in the environment by simplifying workloads
- C . Identify applications with workloads that run infrequently or that require boutique services for migration to the cloud
- D . Initiate a cloud comparison initiative to compare the price of competing cloud alternatives
A line of business (LOB) has been using a public cloud and is seeking services from the internal IT department. The LOB has requested an SLA for each service.
Why would the LOB make this request?
- A . Need for a clear description of services, capabilities, key performance indicators, support responsibilities and warranties
- B . Need to understand what template is included with the service, the catalog entry for the service, and the associated dependencies and policies
- C . Need to understand the availability, throughput, frequency, and response time capabilities for the underlying infrastructure components
- D . Need for a clear description of terms and conditions for using the services of the IT cloud before actually using the services
An organization is categorizing their existing services against service characteristics to determine how ready each one might be for the catalog. Part of this effort involves looking at the following three attributes for each service characteristic: considerations, benefits, and tradeoffs.
What attributes correspond to the following characteristics: Reusable and Composable?
- A . Consideration: service usually has to be agnostic to context
Tradeoff: complexity grows as number of services increases - B . Consideration: late or dynamic binding of services
Benefit: requires collaborative service design - C . Benefit: can be human readable metadata
Tradeoff: improved recovery from failure - D . Benefit: improves reliability and scale
Tradeoff: high degree of cooperation and agreement of design standards and conventions
A company has an IT organization that is separated into teams that support different underlying technologies. Each team has its own budget and manages its own tools.
They have a clear understanding of current performance, capacity, and events. Team response to assigned help desk tickets is satisfactory. The company intends to deploy a private cloud and provide services to internal customers.
What service operation management challenge may this company face?
- A . Inability to provide accurate pricing models
- B . Inability to calculate fixed costs
- C . Time consuming root cause analysis
- D . Lack of control over service placement
An IT department wants to reduce waste by shutting down and archiving auto-scaling groups (ASGs) and VMs that have been inactive for more than two weeks. Archived ASGs and VMs will consume tenant quota for the responsible parties.
The IT department wants email notifications to be sent to the tenant and the line of business controller automatically when this happens.
How might you define the configuration for such a solution?
- A . Monitoring triggers for low activity
Orchestration activities for inactivity backup
Backup target as tenant’s object store
Monitoring alerts for inactivity backup - B . Metering triggers for low activity
Orchestration activities for inactivity backup
Backup target as tenant’s object store
Metering alerts for inactivity backup - C . Metering triggers for low activity
Catalog activities for inactivity backup
Backup target as tenant’s object store
Metering alerts for inactivity backup - D . Monitoring triggers for low activity
Catalog activities for inactivity backup
Backup target as tenant’s object store
Monitoring alerts for inactivity backup
An IT department has defined 50 service offerings in their service catalog to satisfy application developers. All services are sourced from within the private cloud. Many of the variants have only been deployed a small number of times. A big data platform is offered and being actively used by a team of data scientists.
The developers are able to customize the platform’s compute, storage, protection and network configuration upon instantiation. Because of the culture of the organization, no chargeback mechanism is implemented.
Within six months, IT finds that the environment has become very complex.
What can they do to resolve the problem?
- A . Implement a showback mechanism to influence consumer behavior when choosing specific resources
- B . Reduce resource contention between application developers and data scientists by using separate resource pools
- C . Standardize on a subset of offerings to meet the needs of most developers and minimize the number of customization options
- D . Offload the big data IaaS platform to a public service provider
An organization wants to provide IaaS capabilities in a hybrid cloud.
The organization has the following requirements:
– Each line of business must have access to its own services and templates
– Service templates should be as generic as possible
– Data encryption should be provided for all services
– Each instance should use Microsoft Active Directory for authentication
– Each instance should have the latest OS patches applied
– Consumers should not be given the ability to select which cloud to use for instance deployment
How can these requirements be addressed in a cloud design?
- A . Add multiple pools and one template to the service catalog
Provide orchestration workflows to create a tenant and then instantiate and customize instances
Provide orchestration workflows to enable data encryption in the template
Enable a configuration manager policy for OS updates - B . Configure multiple tenants and pools in a service catalog
Add a template to the service catalog with data encryption enabled for each tenant
Provide orchestration workflows enabling instance creations, customization and placement
Provide orchestration workflows enabling authentication
Enable a configuration manager policy for OS updates - C . Configure multiple tenants in the service catalog for each cloud
Add a single template to each service catalog
Provide orchestration workflows to instantiate and customize instances
Provide orchestration workflows to enable data encryption and authentication
Enable a configuration manager policy for pool placement OS updates - D . Add multiple pools and one template to the service catalog
Provide orchestration workflows to create a tenant and then instantiate and customize instances
Provide orchestration workflows to enable data encryption and authentication
Enable a configuration manager policy for OS updates and pool placement
Which IT Governance principle should cloud services adhere to?
- A . Asset valuation
- B . Data classification
- C . Strategic alignment
- D . Risk profiling
As a company moves towards a DevOps model, they have asked you to help their developers achieve the following objectives:
– Repeatedly produce production ready code within short intervals
– Ensure more effective collaboration between developers and delivery personnel
– Align releases tighter to business needs
In order to speed up the cycle of service creation, what would you focus your attention on?
- A . Tools that help automate all steps of the software development life cycle
- B . Practices such as Agile and Scrum that codify application development
- C . Principles of continuous improvement within the Development and Operations organization
- D . Cloud service models for rapid development, testing, and implementation
