Preparing for your Professional Cloud Architect Journey Coursera Quiz Answers
Module 1 Assessment Answers
Question 1)
The Certification Exam is:
- Theoretical, based only on information.
- Practical, based on the skills required of the job.
Question 2)
This course helps you prepare using:
- Sample questions, case studies, and top-down concepts that require knowledge of many dependent concepts.
- Exhaustive lists of essential concepts (bottom-up), and practice quizzes to help you memorize the majority of the concepts.
Question 3)
The recommended test-taking strategy is:
- Bookmark those questions for which you don’t know the answer or don’t feel confident in your answer, and return to them iteratively.
- Answer each question in order and ignore the bookmarking feature.
Preparing with Case Studies Quiz Answers
Question 1)
Why are case studies important preparation?
- Because they give you answers to questions that are on the exam.
- Because you practice skills needed to identify solutions from circumstances — skills needed on the exam and on the job.
Question 2)
The recommended case analysis method taught in this course is:
- 1. Identify the requirements
2. Technical Watchpoints (items that imply parts of the solution)
3. Propose solution
1. Read the case study
2. Propose solution
3. Verify and correct if needed
Question 3)
The case study solution provided is:
- Authoritative. The only right solution.
- Just an example. Your solution might be better.
Preparing for Design Quiz Answers
Question 1)
When you prepare using tables that compare different technologies…
- Read from the table-up. So that if you see a keyword in a question, you will recognize which associated technology in the heading row is a candidate for the solution.
- You don’t really need to know the characteristics of each technology. So it is safe to ignore tables. They have too much information anyway.
Question 2)
Why is knowledge of a layered model a recommended preparation?
- Because it helps organize information and prevent confusion.
- Because it tells you which part of a case or problem is most important.

- If you account for failover in you initial design you will never need to worry about it again.
Question 3)
What is the feature that bridges monitoring and incident response in the Site Reliability Engineering model?
- Billing
- Alerts
Question 4)
