On-demand server provisioning and cost control
-
Elimination of all potential server downtime
Question 3
Question
What is a major downside of a cold standby backup system?
Answer
-
High cost of server maintenance
-
Requires a replicated live database
-
Significant downtime and potential data loss
-
Complexity of implementation
Question 4
Question
Why might a cold standby system still be used despite its limitations?
Answer
-
It provides seamless failover capabilities
-
It is suitable for critical production systems
-
It is a cost-effective and simple solution for non-critical systems
-
It eliminates the need for backups
Question 5
Question
What is the primary difference between a warm standby and a cold standby system?
Answer
-
Warm standby uses simultaneous writes to all hosts
-
Warm standby relies on live replication instead of periodic backups
-
Cold standby offers faster recovery times
-
Warm standby requires manual intervention to activate
Question 6
Question
What is one potential drawback of using a warm standby system?
Answer
-
High probability of data loss
-
Increased load on the backup database
-
Lack of replication options in modern databases
-
Long downtime during failover
Question 7
Question
What is the key characteristic of a hot standby system?
Answer
-
Writes are replicated periodically
-
It relies on cold backups for recovery
-
Data is written simultaneously to all database hosts
-
It eliminates the need for read scaling
Question 8
Question
How does a hot standby system support horizontal scaling?
Answer
-
By distributing write operations among multiple servers
-
By enabling simultaneous read operations across database hosts
-
By relying on a single database host with backups
-
By using a replication mechanism to synchronize data
Question 9
Question
What is the main advantage of serverless services like AWS Lambda?
Answer
-
Complete elimination of downtime
-
Direct control over physical servers
-
Abstraction of server provisioning and billing based on usage
-
Reduced costs due to fixed pricing models
Question 10
Question
Which scenario best fits a serverless architecture?
Answer
-
Running long-term, stateful applications
-
Handling unpredictable, short-lived workloads
