IBM Planning Analytics V2.0 Developer — Question 5

What are two advantages gained by using IBM Cloud as the application platform for an application using Watson services? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. IBM Cloud is built on proprietary APIs which provide competitive advantages
• B. The IBM Cloud application developer can choose among multiple release versions of the Cloud Foundry framework
• C. IBM Cloud promotes 12-factor methodology since IBM Cloud is deployed exclusively as a public cloud model
• D. Environmental, operational, and functional Security are built into the IBM Cloud platform
• E. Scaling application capacity is simple for applications following modern design (such as 12-factor methodology)

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because IBM Cloud allows developers to select from multiple versions of the Cloud Foundry framework, enhancing flexibility. Option D is also accurate as the platform incorporates built-in security features across various aspects. Options A and C are incorrect because they either misrepresent IBM Cloud's API structure or its deployment model. Option E is not selected because while scaling is easier, it does not directly relate to the specific advantages of using IBM Cloud with Watson services.
