mis 341 - module 1 weekly quiz

A set of flashcards covering key vocabulary and concepts related to cloud computing as outlined in the CompTIA Cloud+ guide.

Cloud Computing

A model enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources.

On-Demand Self-Service

Users can unilaterally provision computing capabilities as needed without requiring human interaction with each service's provider.

Broad Network Access

Cloud services are available over the network and accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use across various platforms.

Resource Pooling

The provider's computing resources are pooled to serve multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model.

Rapid Elasticity

Resources can be provisioned and released quickly to scale elastically according to demand.

Measured Service

Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability.

Public Cloud

Cloud services owned and operated by third-party providers, shared among multiple users over the Internet.

Private Cloud

Cloud infrastructure dedicated to a single organization, providing greater control and security.

Hybrid Cloud

A mix of public and private cloud components that allows data transfer between the two.

SaaS (Software as a Service)

Provision of software capabilities over the Internet without the need for local installation.

PaaS (Platform as a Service)

Service providing a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and manage applications without the complexity of building and maintaining infrastructure.

IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)

Service providing virtualized computing resources over the Internet.

Troubleshooting Methodology

A systematic approach to identify, diagnose, and resolve issues in cloud services.

Multi-Cloud

Utilizing cloud services from multiple cloud providers simultaneously.

Community Cloud

A cloud environment shared among several organizations with shared concerns or interests.

Cloud Within a Cloud

A strategy of migrating virtualization environments onto public cloud platforms.

Security Issues

Concerns related to unauthorized access and data breaches in cloud services.
