Scenario: A software development team is planning to launch a new application. How can Capacity Planning ensure sufficient resources are available to support its deployment and usage?
- Conduct scalability testing
- Purchase additional servers
- Upgrade existing software licenses
- Implement continuous monitoring and auto-scaling
Capacity Planning for a new application involves conducting scalability testing (Option 1) to ensure the infrastructure can handle increased loads. Purchasing additional servers (Option 2) and upgrading software licenses (Option 3) are reactive measures and may not align with actual resource needs. Continuous monitoring and auto-scaling (Option 4) are ongoing strategies but are not specific to ensuring initial resource sufficiency.
A small business with limited storage resources wants to optimize its backup process. What backup type and strategy would be most suitable, and how would you implement it?
- Cloud Backup: Utilizes cloud storage for backups, reducing the need for on-premises storage and ensuring data accessibility from anywhere.
- Differential Backup: Backs up all changes since the last full backup, allowing for faster restores but potentially longer backup times.
- Incremental Backup: Backs up only changed data since the last backup, minimizing backup time and storage usage.
- Snapshot Backup: Captures the state of data at a specific point in time, enabling quick recovery to that point.
Cloud Backup is ideal for small businesses with limited storage as it eliminates the need for expensive on-premises infrastructure. It optimizes backup processes by leveraging scalable cloud storage, ensuring data accessibility and reducing storage costs. Implementing this strategy involves selecting a reliable cloud backup provider, setting up automated backups, and regularly testing data recovery processes to ensure data integrity and availability.
