QuestionQ4

Developing flows, messages, and applications

Why does IBM Cloud Analytics Engine separate compute from storage?

  • A Compute can be scaled but storage costs are fixed
  • B Storage can be scaled but not compute
  • C To achieve scale independently and control costs
  • D Compute can be scaled but not storage
Explanation

Separating compute from storage allows each resource to scale independently and helps control costs by allocating compute only when workloads require it while data remains in object storage.

QuestionQ5

Developing flows, messages, and applications

Which statement most accurately describes an IBM Cloud multizone region (MZR)?

  • A A region that offers increased security compared to single zone regions
  • B A region where a failure in one zone affects all other zones
  • C A region with multiple geographical locations
  • D A region that consists of at least three or more separate and interconnected zones
Explanation

An IBM Cloud multizone region consists of three or more separate zones in distinct data centers, interconnected with low-latency networking and designed as independent fault domains. This structure isolates a zone failure rather than causing it to affect the other zones.
