Cloud Virtualization Containers and APIs

Week 2 Quiz

Question 1

What is one difference between a Virtual Machine VM and a Container?

1 / 1 point

Virtual Machines are larger

VMs run Linux

VMs are designed to be run alone side code

You got it! Virtual Machines are a complete copy of an Operating System so they are larger than containers.

========================================

Question 2

What is one unique attribute about Containers?

1 / 1 point

They are ideal for building Microservices

They take up more disk space than Virtual Machines

They are the largest type of virtualization in terms of resources used

You got it! Microservices are designed to solve one problem well, this fits with how Containers work too.

========================================

Question 3

What is an accurate description of Kubernetes?

1 / 1 point

Automated container deployment

A Dockerfile

A VM

Kubernetes is a “production-grade” container orchestration system

========================================

Question 4

Why is Kubernetes considered “Planet Scale”?

1 / 1 point

It runs only on GCP

It runs only on AWS

You got it! Kubernetes is considered “Planet Scale” since it runs billions of containers a week.

========================================

Question 5

What software can install Kubernetes?

1 / 1 point

It comes with Virtual Machines

Docker Desktop

It is always installed on most systems

You got it! Docker Desktop has the ability to install Kubernetes.

========================================

Question 6

What is an advantage of spot instances on Amazon EC2?

1 / 1 point

Newer features

Bid on the unused capacity for a fraction of the retail cost

Higher performance

You got it! Spot instances allow a user to save up to 90% of the retail cost by bidding on unused capacity.

========================================

Question 7

Why could Containers fit into a DevOps best practice?

1 / 1 point

They create an automated deployment

They create an automatic unit test

They map well to Microservices

You got it! Microservices are a DevOps best practice.

========================================

Question 8

Which of these scenarios fits a Kubernetes use case?

1 / 1 point

Command-line tool

Computing lab

Static website

You got it! A computing lab that needs to scale up many different jobs would be ideal for Kubernetes.

========================================

Question 9

What is the best abstraction for a command-line tool delivered to a customer?

1 / 1 point

Kubernetes Cluster

Virtual Machine Image

Docker Container in Dockerhub

You got it! A docker container pushed to Docker Hub would be ideal as a distribution pathway for customers.

========================================

Question 10

What does a Dockerfile mean when it uses the statement FROM?

1 / 1 point

Runs tests

Creates CPU Capacity

You got it! CPU Capacity can be specified from the Docker CLI.

Inherit code

You got it! The Dockerfile FROM syntax inherits code from another container.
