Important Cloud Computing Interview Questions and Answers

 Cloud Computing Interview Questions

1.Compare cloud and On-premise Computing?

Criteria Cloud On-premise
Initial cost Low High
Maintenance & Support Hassle-free Needs attention
Upgrade Automatic Manual
Scalability Excellent Good
Pay as you go Yes No

2.What is a Cloud?

A cloud is a combination of networks, hardware, services, storage, and interfaces which helps in delivering computing as a service. It has three users:
  • End users.
  • Business management users.
  • Cloud service provider.

    3.What is cloud computing?

    It is advance stage technology implemented so that the cloud provides the services globally as per the user requirements. It provides a method to access several servers worldwide.

    4.What are the benefits of cloud computing?

    The main benefits of cloud computing are:
  • Data backup and storage of data.
  • Powerful server capabilities.
  • Incremental productivity.
  • Cost effective and time saving.

    5.Mention the layers of PaaS Architecture?

    Cloud Controller
  • Automatically creates Virtual machines and controllers.
  • Deploys Applications.
  • Connects to services.
  • Automatically scales Ups and Downs.
    Storage Services
  • Object
  • NoSQL
  • Relational
  • Block Storage
    Applications store in storage services
  • Simple to scale applications.
  • Easier recovery from failure.

    6.What are the cloud service Models?

  • Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
  • Platform as a service (PaaS)
  • Software as a service (SaaS)

    7.What are the components of windows Azure?

    Windows Azure platform services
  • The Cloud
  • SQL Azure
  • Appfabric: Allows fabric cloud

    8.What are the Differences occurred in Distributed operation?

    FC: Master-Slave operations
    Nova: Parallel process and its shared database.

    9.Mention the Reliability and Availability of cloud computing.

    Use of fault domains:
  • Two virtual machines are in single fault domain if a single hardware can bring down both the virtual machines.
  • Azure automatically distributes instances of a role across fault domains.
    Use of Upgrade Domains:
  • When new version of software is rolled out, then only one up gradation of domain is done at a time.
  • Ensures that some instance of the service is always available.
  • Availability of the applications in the multiple instances.
    Storage and Network Availability:
  • Copies of data are stored in different domains.
  • Mechanism to guard against DoS and DDoS attacks.

    10.Give an example for open source cloud computing.

    OpenStack

    12.Why Hybrid clouds are so important?

    Cloud Bursting: Access capacity or specialized software are available in public cloud and not in private cloud.
    Examples: Virtual Amazon and Dynamo
    Leverage best of both worlds:
    VCloud:
  • It is VM Ware cloud.
  • It is Expensive.
  • Enterprise quality.
    Openstack:
  • It has commodity servers and storage.
  • It is less reliable.
  • We can run Web servers on OpenStack.
  • Database is built on VCloud.

    13.List the platforms which are used for large scale cloud computing.

    The platforms that are used for large scale cloud computing are
  • Apache Hadoop.
  • MapReduce

    14.Mention the different type of models used for deployment in cloud computing.

    He different deployment models in cloud computing are
  • Private Cloud.
  • Public Cloud.
  • Community Cloud.
  • Hybrid Cloud

    15.Explain the security Management in terms of cloud computing.

    The Identity management access provides the authorization of application services.
  • Access control permission is given to the users to have complete controlling access of another user who is entering into the cloud environment.
  • Authentication and Authorization provides access only to the authorized and authenticated users to access the data and applications only.

    16.Which are the Layers that scope of cloud computing?

    The different layers used by cloud architecture are as follows:
  • CLC or also known as Cloud Controller.
  • Walrus.
  • Cluster Controller.
  • Storage Controller(SC).
  • Node Controller(NC)

    17.Explain the full form and usage of “EUCALYPTUS” in cloud computing.

    “EUCALYPTUS” full form stands for Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for Linking Your Programs to Useful Systems”.
    “Eucalyptus” is an open source software infrastructure in cloud computing, which enables us to implement clusters in cloud computing platform. It is mainly used to build public, hybrid and private clouds. It has the capabilities to produce your own data center into a private cloud and provides to use its all functionality for various other organizations.

    18.What are the uses of API’S in cloud server?

  • API’s (Application Programming Interface are used to eliminate the necessity to write the complete programs.
  • The instructions are provided to make communication between one or more applications.
  • Creation of applications is made easy and access for the link of cloud services with other systems.

    19.Mention the different datacenters deployment of cloud computing.

    Cloud computing consists of different data centers such as :
  • Containerized data centers – Containerized data centers are the packages that contain consistent set of servers, network components and storage delivered to large warehouse kind of facilities. Here each deployment is relatively unique.
  • Low-density data centers – Containerized data centres promote heavy density which in turn causes much heat and significant engineering troubles. Low density data centres are the solution to this problem. Here the equipment is established far apart so that it cools down the generated heat.

    20.What are the building blocks in cloud Architecture.

  • Reference architecture.
  • Technical architecture.
  • Deployment operation architecture.
  • Reference architecture.
  • Technical architecture
