Question 2

Cloud disks are reliable because they use_________ to provide block-level data storage for ECS instances, ensuring 99.9999999% data reliability.



Question 3

ECS can be used along with_____to store static images, videos, and reducing storage fees.



Answer : A

ECS can be used along with OSS to store static images, videos, and reducing storage fees. OSS is a fully managed object storage service that provides industry-leading scalability, durability, and performance. OSS can store any amount of data from anywhere, such as static images, videos, backup files, and so on. ECS is a cloud computing service that provides elastic and secure virtual cloud servers. ECS can access OSS resources by using an internal endpoint of OSS, which reduces the network latency and the traffic costs.By using ECS and OSS together, you can benefit from the following advantages1:

Improved user experience: You can use OSS to store and deliver static content, such as images and videos, to your users. OSS integrates with CDN products to provide reliable, scalable, flexible, and cost-effective content distribution solutions. You can use ECS to run dynamic applications, such as web servers and databases, that require high performance and availability. ECS provides fast memory and the latest CPUs to help you power your cloud applications and achieve faster results with low latency.

Reduced storage fees: You can use OSS to store large amounts of data at a low cost. OSS offers four tiers of storage: Standard, Infrequent Access, Archive, and Cold Archive. Each tier is cost-optimized for specific storage patterns. You can use lifecycle policies to automatically transition your data to the appropriate storage tier based on your business needs. You can also use Storage Capacity Unit to plan your storage budget and usage in one place. You can use ECS to scale your computing resources up or down based on real-time demands. ECS supports pay-as-you-go and different capacity reservation plans. You can also use spot instances to reduce your computing costs by up to 90%.

Enhanced security: You can use OSS to protect your data from unauthorized access, deletion, or modification. OSS supports encryption at rest and in transit, anti-leech protection, bucket policies, RAM roles, and more. You can also use your own key (BYOK) encryption to ensure your data is encrypted when it is stored in the cloud platform. You can use ECS to secure your cloud servers from network attacks, such as DDoS and brute force attacks. ECS supports security groups, firewalls, VPCs, SSL certificates, and more. You can also use Resource Access Management (RAM) to control the access permissions of your ECS instances and OSS buckets.Reference:Use Alibaba Cloud CDN to accelerate access to OSS


Question 4
Question 5
Question 6
Question 7

You can an ECS instance's configuration. (Choose two.)



Answer : A, B

You can upgrade or downgrade an ECS instance's configuration to meet your business needs. Upgrading an instance's configuration means increasing the vCPUs, memory, bandwidth, or disk capacity of the instance. Downgrading an instance's configuration means decreasing the vCPUs, memory, bandwidth, or disk capacity of the instance.You can change the configuration of an ECS instance by using one of the following methods1:

Change the instance type: You can change the instance type of an ECS instance to adjust the vCPUs and memory of the instance.You can change the instance type of an ECS instance in the following scenarios2:

The instance is in theStoppedstate and uses apay-as-you-gobilling method.

The instance is in theRunningstate and uses asubscriptionbilling method, and the new instance type belongs to the same instance family as the original instance type.

Change the bandwidth configuration: You can change the bandwidth configuration of an ECS instance to adjust the network performance of the instance.You can change the bandwidth configuration of an ECS instance in the following scenarios3:

The instance is in theStoppedstate and uses apay-as-you-gobilling method, and the instance is not associated with an EIP.

The instance is in theRunningstate and uses asubscriptionbilling method, and the instance is not associated with an EIP.

Change the system disk or data disk: You can change the system disk or data disk of an ECS instance to adjust the disk capacity or performance of the instance.You can change the system disk or data disk of an ECS instance in the following scenarios4:

The instance is in theStoppedstate and uses apay-as-you-gobilling method, and the disk is not encrypted.

The instance is in theRunningstate and uses asubscriptionbilling method, and the disk is not encrypted.Reference:1:Overview of instance configuration changes - Alibaba Cloud2:Change the instance type of an ECS instance - Alibaba Cloud3:Change the bandwidth configuration of an ECS instance - Alibaba Cloud4:Change the system disk or data disk of an ECS instance - Alibaba Cloud.
