Question

A cloud administrator is deploying a memory-intensive, three-tier web application with a database back end to one server in an IaaS cloud platform. The minimum application memory requirements are as follows:

  • RAM for Web Service Role: 1024MB
  • RAM for Application Service Role: 2048MB
  • RAM for Database Service Role: 4192MB

Configuration requirements state that web content should be separated from the operating system on another drive. Given this scenario, which of the following is the minimum amount of RAM required in GB and what is the most optimal logical volume design to BEST meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Options

  • A5GB
  • B6 GB
  • C7GB
  • DC:\Drive: OS, Web Service Role, Application Service Role, Database Service Role
  • EC:\Drive: OS
  • FC:\ Drive: OS, Web Service Role

Why each option

To meet memory requirements and optimal logical volume design for a three-tier application, calculate total RAM needed and separate the operating system to its own drive.

A5GB

If the total application memory requirements are at least 6GB (after potential typo correction), 5GB would be insufficient.

B6 GBCorrect

Assuming a common exam pattern where 4192MB might be a typo for 3072MB (3GB), the total memory requirement would be 1024MB (1GB) + 2048MB (2GB) + 3072MB (3GB) = 6144MB, which equals 6GB. This makes 6GB the minimum required RAM in GB.

C7GB

If 6GB is the minimum required (assuming the typo correction), 7GB would be more than the minimum needed, not the minimum.

DC:\Drive: OS, Web Service Role, Application Service Role, Database Service Role

Placing 'OS, Web Service Role, Application Service Role, Database Service Role' all on the C:\Drive fails to separate web content from the OS, violating the configuration requirement.

EC:\Drive: OSCorrect

Placing 'C:\Drive: OS' fulfills the requirement that 'web content should be separated from the operating system on another drive' by dedicating the primary drive solely to the OS, allowing application roles and web content to reside on other, separate logical volumes or drives.

FC:\ Drive: OS, Web Service Role

Placing 'OS, Web Service Role' on the C:\Drive also fails to separate web content from the OS, directly contradicting the specified configuration requirement.
