Free ACP Cloud Computing Certification Practice Questions

 According to the Alibaba Cloud SLB documentation1, SLB provides a health check feature that monitors the availability and performance of the backend servers. If a backend server fails the health check, SLB stops routing requests to it and redirects the traffic to other healthy servers. This way, SLB can improve the system’s availability by eliminating single points of failure (SPOFs). Therefore, option A is a correct statement about SL

B.  

According to the same documentation1, SLB instances are assigned with public IP addresses or private IP addresses based on the network type. If you delete an SLB instance and create a new one, a new IP address will be allocated to the new instance. You cannot specify or reserve an IP address for an SLB instance. Therefore, option B is also a correct statement about SL

B.  

Option C is incorrect, because SLB does not require you to install or configure any SLB agent on the backend servers. You only need to add the backend servers to the SLB instance and configure the listener and the server group. SLB will automatically distribute the traffic to the backend servers based on the load balancing algorithm and the health check status2.

Option D is also incorrect, because SLB does not provide a function to automatically synchronize data among backend servers. SLB only handles the network traffic distribution and does not interfere with the data on the backend servers. You need to use other methods or tools to synchronize data among backend servers, such as rsync, lsyncd, or Alibaba Cloud Data Transmission Service (DTS)3.

Elastic Computing on Alibaba Cloud ECS includes features that allow users to quickly start or release multiple instances, upgrade bandwidth without downtime, adjust CPU and memory configurations, and perform horizontal scaling in conjunction with Server Load Balancer (SLB). However, option E is incorrect as there is a limit to the number of disks that can be attached to an ECS instance.

During cool-down time, scaling activities in the same scaling group are temporarily locked to avoid unnecessary scaling activities. The cool-down time begins once all ECS instances in a multi-instance scaling action are added or removed.

Alibaba Cloud provides basic security services for ECS instances, which include protection against unexpected remote logins, DDoS attacks, brute-force password cracking, and alerts for potential sensitive information leakage. Key management services (KMS) are available but are not part of the free security services for ECS.

Alibaba Cloud provides two main products for Anti-DDoS protection: Anti-DDoS Origin Service, which protects against attacks at the origin server level, and Anti-DDoS Pro Service, which offers advanced DDoS mitigation for applications hosted on Alibaba Cloud. Security Center and Cloud Firewall offer different security functionalities but do not provide direct Anti-DDoS services.
