Passcert has recently released its latest set of IBM Cloud Advanced Architect v2 C1000-176 Dumps that are designed to cover all the essential content required for the examination. Not only do they offer a comprehensive review of the subject matter, but they also enable candidates to familiarize themselves with the structure and format of the exam. With these IBM Cloud Advanced Architect v2 C1000-176 Dumps, candidates can confidently prepare for the exam and increase their chances of passing the C1000-176 IBM Cloud Advanced Architect v2 exam on their first attempt.

An individual who has achieved the designation of an IBM Certified Advanced Architect – Cloud v2 is expected to have a minimum of three years of practical, hands-on experience. Their expertise should primarily revolve around the design of cost-effective and resilient architectures on IBM Cloud. These architectures should not only fulfill customer needs but also adhere to the highest industry standards and best practices. The selection of appropriate IBM Cloud services is another crucial aspect of their role, which involves understanding the specific requirements of different applications and customers thoroughly. Moreover, they are expected to perform these tasks with little to no assistance, demonstrating a high level of independence and problem-solving skills.

1. When applying IBM Cloud security best practices, which of the following measures is crucial for protecting data at rest?

A. Use of IBM Cloud Internet Services

B. Implementation of regular data backups

C. Encryption of data using IBM Key Protect

D. Frequent password rotation for user accounts

Answer: C

 

2. A company has deployed a CRM application on IBM Cloud, which records information about customer sales, as well as customer interaction and the channels they use. The marketing department wants to run complex reporting jobs against the data set, which is located in an IBM Cloud Databases for PostgreSQL instance, but the IT department is worried about the impact this might have on response times for other users.

What can the IT department do to mitigate this concern?

A. Implement a read-replica of the PostgreSQL database and make it the target for the reporting jobs

B. Export the relevant PostgreSQL tables into YAML files and use Data Engine to query them

C. Add a new member to the PostgreSQL instance cluster and mark it as reportmaster

D. Ensure that the PostgreSQL instance is in the closest MZR to the marketing department

Answer: A

 

3. Which infrastructure as code ((IaC) approach defines the desired final state of the infrastructure?

A. Exclamatory

B. Interrogative

C. Imperative

D. Declarative

Answer: D

 

4. A novice team is developing their first e-commerce application that will run in a Red Hat Openshift cluster in IBM Cloud. They built a single microservice to handle two distinct functionalities: inventory operations and payment processing.

What is the best advice that you could give to the team to improve the scalability, security, and resiliency of their application?

A. Separate the functionalities into two distinct microservices. Each microservice should have a single responsibility

B. Combine other business functionalities into the single microservice. A selfcontained binary is more secure

C. Use Source-to-Image (S2I) to analyze runtime metrics. A microservice should always provide high degrees of observability
