• C.Variable
• D.Pay-as-you-go

Which describes the process for instantiating an IaaS offering?

• A.The consumer, via a web based catalog, selects a service which utilizes an orchestration engine that communicates with the hypervisor layer. This triggers a creation of service through the allocation of resources.
• B.The consumer interacts with an orchestration engine that communicates directly with the hypervisor layer. This triggers a creation of service, allocating resources.
• C.The consumer, via a web based catalog, selects an orchestration engine that communicates with the hypervisor layer. This triggers a creation of service, allocating CPU, RAM, networking and storage.
• D.The consumer, via a web based catalog, deploys a template that communicates with the hypervisor layer. This triggers a creation of service, allocating CPU, RAM, networking and storage.

The first phase of new ITaaS service introduces the offering to 10% of the engineering organization. The IT organization leverages the management tools used in their traditional data center processes to provide visibility into silos and control of the infrastructure. They also have adapted some ITSM concepts as a framework for their management practices.
During the initial phase of the service deployment, a problem was encountered in one of the VMs. The IT organization is concerned about the extensive amount of time and resources spent determining the cause of the issue.
As a consultant, what should you recommend to prevent these types of service issues?

• A.Configure the incident management system to identify issues and resolutions
• B.Contract with an outside organization that has extensive experience in resolving cloud service issues
• C.Upgrade the management tools to provide holistic visibility into the service dependencies
• D.Redesign the service offering with an emphasis on less complexity and interdependence

The line of business (LOB) Services Product Manager has asked you to implement a solution that monitors the actual resource utilization of your company's private cloud infrastructure.

Which software solution would best fit the requirements of the LOB Services Product Manager?

• A.VMware vCloud Director
• B.VMware vCenter Chargeback
• C.VMware vCenter Operations

A hosting organization operates from two data centers and typically hosts very large customers. The delivery and support of the IT Infrastructure is not service driven. The IT technical delivery functions operate in silos. Customers suffer a significant lead time to establish new operational environments. In addition, changes to applications that impact the infrastructure have a long lead time.
One of the customers has requested a service-driven approach for a new business application and its associated infrastructure. The hosting organization has agreed to build a PaaS offering.
Which operational tool and process transformation approach is most suitable for the hosting company?

• A.Use the existing mature tools and processes that are used for all customers. Manage cloud capacity using the existing process to order storage, network and compute.
• B.Deploy additional cloud tools alongside existing tooling. Train the IT operations teams to use the new tools. Start to transform operations once the cloud is up and running.
• C.Design a new service-driven set of tools and processes. Train some of the IT operations teams to use the new tools. In advance of service demand, procure appropriate storage, network and compute capability for the cloud.
• D.Design a new service-driven set of tools and processes. Train the IT operations teams to use the new tools. Manage cloud capacity using the existing process to order storage, network and compute.
