EMC Proven Professional – Cloud Architect — Question 30
An organization wants to provide IaaS capabilities in a private cloud. They have 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 only services that require it
✑ Each instance should use Microsoft Active Directory for authentication
✑ Each instance should have the latest OS patches applied
How can these requirements be addressed in a cloud design?
Answer options
- A. Add 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
- B. Add one template to the 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 OS updates and tenant configuration
- C. Configure multiple tenants in the service catalog Add a template to the service catalog for each tenant Provide orchestration workflows to instantiate and customize instances Provide orchestration workflows to enable data encryption and authentication Enable a configuration manager policy for OS updates
- D. Configure multiple tenants in the service catalog Add a single template to the service catalog Provide orchestration workflows to instantiate and customize instances and then assign it to a tenant Provide orchestration workflows to enable data encryption and authentication Enable a configuration manager policy for OS updates
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Option D is correct because it allows the organization to configure multiple tenants while using a single template to maintain flexibility and standardization. This approach meets the requirement for each line of business to have their own services, while also enabling data encryption and authentication workflows. Other options either do not cater to the requirement for multiple tenants or complicate the service setup unnecessarily.
