EMC Proven Professional – Cloud Architect — Question 9
An organization wants to provide IaaS capabilities in a hybrid 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
✑ Consumers should be given the ability to select which cloud to use for instance deployment
How can these requirements be addressed in a cloud design?
Answer options
- 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 and authentication Enable a configuration manager policy for OS updates and pool placement
- B. Configure multiple tenants in the service catalog Add a single 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 pool placement OS updates
- C. 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
- D. Configure multiple tenants and pools in the service catalog Add a template to the service catalog for each tenant Provide orchestration workflows enabling instance creations, customization and placement Provide orchestration workflows enabling data encryption and authentication Enable a configuration manager policy for OS updates
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer, B, allows for the configuration of multiple tenants while maintaining a single template, which meets the requirement for access to unique services and templates. It also provides the necessary orchestration workflows for instance customization and supports the specific needs for data encryption and authentication. The other options either complicate the design unnecessarily or do not fully address the requirements for tenant management and instance deployment selection.
