Alibaba Cloud Certified Associate – Cloud Computing — Question 26

A/An _________________ is a copy of data on a disk at a certain point in time.

Answer options

• A. image
• B. snapshot
• C. template
• D. EIP

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is 'snapshot' as it specifically refers to a preserved state of data at a given time. An 'image' typically refers to a full copy of a system or disk but does not imply the same time-specific context. 'Template' usually describes a pre-configured setup for deploying new instances, and 'EIP' stands for Elastic IP, which is unrelated to data copies.
