350-501 · Question #417

Refer to the exhibit. Which part of the diagram will host OpenStack components?

The correct answer is A. UCS Series. OpenStack components, which are software services for managing cloud resources, typically run on physical computing hardware, such as Cisco UCS Series servers, within a data center.

Why each option

OpenStack components, which are software services for managing cloud resources, typically run on physical computing hardware, such as Cisco UCS Series servers, within a data center.

AUCS SeriesCorrect

The UCS Series refers to Cisco's Unified Computing System, which provides physical server infrastructure (e.g., blade servers or rack servers). OpenStack components, including compute nodes, controller nodes, and storage nodes, are software services that require underlying physical servers to run, making the UCS Series the appropriate location to host them.

BAggregation

The Aggregation layer consists of network switches that connect access layer switches to the core, primarily handling network traffic forwarding rather than hosting compute or storage components.

CAccess

The Access layer consists of network switches that connect end-user devices or servers to the network, focusing on network connectivity rather than hosting complex software platforms like OpenStack.

DCore

The Core layer is the high-speed backbone of the network, designed for high-throughput packet forwarding and inter-VLAN routing, not for hosting application or platform components.
