DDoS attacks are causing an overload on the cluster of cloud servers. A security architect is researching alternatives to make the cloud environment respond to load fluctuation in a cost-effective way. Which of the following options BEST fulfills the architect's requirements?

  • A. An orchestration solution that can adjust scalability of cloud assets
  • B. Use of multipath by adding more connections to cloud storage
  • C. Cloud assets replicated on geographically distributed regions
  • D. An on-site backup that is displayed and only used when the load increases

A. An orchestration solution that can adjust scalability of cloud assets -> this is the correct answer IMO - this is what elasticity in cloud is all about, we are only creating new resources when there is a workload spike. B. Use of multipath by adding more connections to cloud storage -> this doest address the issue of dealing with the additional load on the servers C. Cloud assets replicated on geographically distributed regions -> hot or warm recovery sites ( not cost effective ) D. An on-site backup that is displayed and only used when the load increases ( not cost effective since the on-site will be always on behind the scenes)

But a DDoS attack would then scale the amount of resources and cost the company a lot of money. Another stupid question, but A seems like the least stupid.

I agree with you on this... it is not cost effective to companies when they adjust scalability of cloud assets. I choose D.

Out of the four options it's probably 'A', but that's actually one of the possible reasons for DDoS - increase the load to make the victim incur higher cost. Some sort of DDoS protection might make more sense.

Dynamically changed load is a matter of elasticity, not scalability. WTF is wrong with these questions? This whole exam is basically a scam.

Kind of torn, I can see either in that orchestration might cost a lot plus scaleability = more resource costs On the other hand a passive load balancing server costs more in hardware but isn't used regularly, and would have to cost less than scaling, SOAR, etc.

Selected Answer: A
An orchestration solution that can adjust the scalability of cloud assets is the best option to fulfill the security architect's requirements. Orchestration in the context of cloud computing refers to the automated management and coordination of various cloud resources to handle changes in demand and optimize performance. By using an orchestration solution, the cloud environment can dynamically scale resources up or down based on load fluctuations caused by DDoS attacks or any other factors. This allows the organization to respond to changing demands in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

Selected Answer: A
An orchestration solution allows for dynamic scaling of cloud resources based on the current load or demand. This means that as the DDoS attack causes an overload on the cloud servers, the orchestration solution can automatically increase the number of servers (scale-out) to handle the increased traffic. Similarly, when the load decreases, the solution can scale down by removing unnecessary servers to save costs. This approach provides an efficient and cost-effective way to respond to load fluctuations caused by DDoS attacks, ensuring that the cloud environment can handle the increased demand without compromising performance or incurring unnecessary expenses.

Selected Answer: A
An orchestration solution that can adjust scalability of cloud assets would likely be the best option for fulfilling the security architect's requirements. This would allow the cloud environment to dynamically adjust the scalability of its assets based on load fluctuation, effectively managing the overload caused by DDoS attacks. By automatically provisioning or deprovisioning resources as needed, an orchestration solution can help maintain optimal performance while minimizing costs.

A. An orchestration solution that can adjust scalability of cloud assets would be the best option to fulfill the architect's requirements. An orchestration solution allows for automatic scaling of resources based on traffic demands, which will help the cloud environment respond to load fluctuation. Additionally, it can be cost-effective because it can scale resources up or down as needed, meaning that resources are only allocated when needed, and are released when they are no longer required. This reduces unnecessary resource consumption and costs.

It cannot be B: "What is multipathing in cloud computing? Multipathing, also called SAN multipathing or I/O multipathing, is the establishment of multiple physical routes between a server and the storage device that supports it."

I agree with stoneface on A. Remember that backups are expensive. Which is the entire reason for the convoluted process of hot, warm, and cold sites. Scaling cloud infrastructures can experience lag during the periods of high activity, where other assets have to either be added, or become active. This is the compromise for a cost-effective solution that scales. The company could go for a system that is absolutely overkill on assets at all times, in preparation for those brief peak moments. But this is expensive, and unlikely to be taken by most companies. Only case you would want to use one of these is if you have a sensitive or critical service that MUST remain online. Stock exchange servers, military servers, bank servers, etc. come to mind for this criteria.
