A business leader wants to understand what fundamentally distinguishes cloud technology from this traditional on-premises model. What is the most accurate definition of cloud technology in this context?

B The practice of running virtual machines on physical servers owned by the organization to improve hardware utilization
C A distributed network of servers that caches static content closer to end users to reduce latency
D A managed hosting arrangement in which a third-party provider maintains dedicated physical servers on behalf of the organization

2. A startup founder is pitching to investors and wants to explain why choosing a cloud-native architecture gives their company a competitive edge over an established rival that runs legacy on-premises software. Which statement best describes what makes an application cloud-native?

A An existing monolithic application that has been migrated to run on a virtual machine hosted in a public cloud data center
B An application designed from the start using microservices, containers, and continuous delivery to fully exploit cloud scalability and resilience

4. A government agency is evaluating whether to adopt open-source software for its new data analytics platform. A stakeholder asks what distinguishes open-source software from proprietary software. Which description is most accurate?

A Software whose source code is publicly available, allowing anyone to view, modify, and distribute it under an open license
B Software that is free to use but whose source code is kept private by the developer
C Software that is licensed exclusively to one vendor and cannot be modified by customers
D Software that is deployed on cloud servers and accessed by users over the internet via a web browser

5. A financial services company is explaining to its board the primary reason it should consider migrating workloads to Google Cloud instead of continuing to purchase and provision new on-premises servers. Which of the following best describes a key cost-related benefit of cloud technology over traditional on-premises infrastructure?

A Cloud providers guarantee that monthly cloud bills will always be lower than equivalent on-premises infrastructure costs
B Migrating to cloud eliminates all software licensing costs because cloud services are always open source
