ACP-Cloud1 Practice Questions

ApsaraDB for RDS is a stable and reliable online database service that supports MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and PPAS. ApsaraDB for RDS provides a read/write splitting feature that allows you to create read-only RDS instances, which can offload read requests from the primary RDS instance of your database system1. Read/write splitting is implemented by using a dedicated proxy endpoint, which routes read and write requests to different RDS instances based on the SQL statements and the read weights of the read-only instances2. By using ApsaraDB for RDS to implement read/write splitting, you can achieve the following benefits21:

Read requests are distributed to multiple instances. This can improve the read performance and availability of your database system, as well as balance the load among the read-only instances. You can specify the read weights of the read-only instances to control the distribution of read requests.

Read/write requests to the database are separated. This can reduce the pressure on the primary RDS instance and ensure the stability and security of the write operations. You only need to connect to the proxy endpoint, and the proxy will automatically route the read and write requests to the appropriate RDS instances.

The other statements are not correct, as write requests are not distributed to multiple instances, but only sent to the primary RDS instance2; and both read and write requests are not distributed to multiple instances, but separated by the proxy endpoint2. References: [ApsaraDB for RDS - Alibaba Cloud], Read/write splitting - - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center, Use the read/write splitting feature to increase the processing capability of an ApsaraDB RDS instance

A low CDN cache hit rate can be due to low website traffic, poor cache configurations (such as a short Cache Expiry Time), or the presence of dynamic resources that require frequent retrieval from the origin. Proper configuration of "Cache-Control" and "Expires" headers is necessary to ensure caching.

=================

For a service focused on storing and providing fast access to a massive amount of images, the team should use:

Object Storage Service (OSS): For scalable and cost-effective storage of large image datasets.

Elastic Compute Service (ECS): For running the application’s backend and API logic.

Content Delivery Network (CDN): To cache and accelerate image delivery globally, improving access speed for users worldwide.While Auto Scaling is useful for applications with highly variable compute demands, it is not essential for this setup based on the described requirements.

Option A is correct because site monitoring is one of the functions provided by CloudMonitor. Site monitoring monitors the availability, connectivity, and domain name resolution of sites. It monitors the connectivity and response time of domain names, IP addresses, and ports, and sends alert notifications based on monitoring results1

Option B is correct because customized monitoring is one of the functions provided by CloudMonitor. Customized monitoring allows you to monitor the metrics of your own applications or services. You can use the CloudMonitor API or SDK to report custom metrics to CloudMonitor and view them on the CloudMonitor console. You can also configure alert rules for your custom metrics2

Option E is correct because cloud service monitoring is one of the functions provided by CloudMonitor. Cloud service monitoring monitors the metrics of Alibaba Cloud services, such as Elastic Compute Service (ECS), Object Storage Service (OSS), ApsaraDB for RDS, and Server Load Balancer (SLB). CloudMonitor collects the metrics of these services and displays them on the CloudMonitor console. You can also configure alert rules for these metrics2

Option C is incorrect because custom firewall is not a function provided by CloudMonitor. Custom firewall is a feature of Alibaba Cloud Security Center, which is a different service from CloudMonitor. Security Center provides security protection for your cloud resources and applications. Custom firewall allows you to customize firewall rules for your ECS instances and control the inbound and outbound traffic3

Option D is incorrect because operation auditing is not a function provided by CloudMonitor. Operation auditing is a feature of Alibaba Cloud ActionTrail, which is a different service from CloudMonitor. ActionTrail records the operations performed on your Alibaba Cloud resources and delivers the audit logs to OSS or Log Service for storage and analysis. Operation auditing helps you track the changes of your resources and comply with security standards4
