Cloud Computing
Assignment- Week 9
TYPE OF QUESTION: MCQ/MSQ
Number of questions: 10 Total mark: 10 X 1 = 10

QUESTION 1:
In which of the following architectures, two or more partner clouds interoperate to aggregate their
resources and provide users with a larger virtual infrastructure?
A) Hybrid/Bursting Architecture
B) Aggregated Architecture
C) Broker Architecture
D) Multiplier Architecture

Correct Answer: B
Detailed Solution: In aggregated cloud federation architecture, two or more partner clouds
interoperate to aggregate their resources and provide users with a larger virtual infrastructure.

QUESTION 2:
Select the correct statement(s) regarding offloading.
A) Offloading is a technique in which a server, an application, and the associated data are moved
from the edge to the cloud.
B) Offloading augments the computing requirements of individuals or a collection of user devices.
C) Offloading from cloud to the edge can be achieved by server offloading.
D) Offloading from user device to edge can be achieved by application partitioning.

Correct Answer: B, C, D
Detailed Solution: Offloading is a technique in which a server, an application, and the associated
data are moved onto the edge of the network. Hence, A is false. All the other statements are correct.
Refer to slide-12 of Resource Management - II.

Detailed Solution: Fog computing is a model in which data, processing and applications are
concentrated in devices at the network edge rather than existing almost entirely in the cloud. So
the option is (d).

QUESTION 4:
According to the service placement taxonomy in fog-edge computing, which of the following can
be classified as online vs offline?
A) Control plan design
B) Placement characteristic
C) System dynamicity
D) Mobility support

Correct Answer: B
Detailed Solution: According to the service placement taxonomy in fog-edge computing, placement
characteristic can be classified as online vs offline.

QUESTION 5:
Fog infrastructure consisting of IoT devices, Fog Nodes, and at least one Cloud Data Center never
ensures scalability
a. True
b. False

Correct Answer: b
Detailed Solution: Scalability is one of the characteristics of fog computing.

QUESTION 6:
Cloud Federation should prefer maximum geographical separation.
a. True
b. False

Correct Answer: a
Detailed Solution: Cloud Federation should prefer maximum geographical separation.

QUESTION 7:
In which of the following cloud federation architectures, creation of cross‐site networks and
cross‐site migration of VMs are used?
A) Loosely coupled federation

B) Partially coupled federation


C) Tightly coupled federation
D) None of the above

Correct Answer: C
Detailed Solution: Advanced features like creation of cross‐site networks and cross‐site migration
of VMs are found in tightly coupled federation.
QUESTION 8:
What is(are) the application placement constraint(s) for fog nodes?
a. Network constraints
b. Interoperability
c. Resource constraints
d. None of these

Correct Answer: A,C


Detailed Solution: Network constraints: such as latency, bandwidth, etc. and these constraints
need to be considered when deploying applications.
Resource constraints: an infrastructure node is limited by finite capabilities in terms of CPU, RAM,
storage, bandwidth, etc. While placing application(s) (service components), the resource
requirements need to be considered.
QUESTION 9:
The ___________ used for resource management in fog/edge computing are classified on the basis
of data flow, control and tenancy.
a. Algorithms
b. Architectures
c. Hardware
d. Infrastructure

Correct Answer: b
Detailed Solution: The architectures used for resource management in fog/edge computing is
classified based on data flow, control, and tenancy.

QUESTION 10:
A CSP has little or no control over remote resources in case of
a. Tightly Coupled Federation
b. Medium Coupled Federation
c. Loosely Coupled Federation
d. None of these

Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution: In loosely coupled federation, a CSP has little or no control over remote
resources (for example, decisions about VM placement are not allowed), monitoring information is

limited (for example, only CPU, memory, or disk consumption of each VM is reported), and there
is no support for advanced features such as cross‐site networks or VM migration.
