Sample Questions

Choose an answer and explore the explanation to see how practice works.

Cloud Computing Troubleshooting

In a 2024 HUAWEI CLOUD Stack project for a university research cloud, application pods report connection refused during scale-out but database CPU is low. The platform includes ManageOne service catalog, FusionCompute resource pools, tenant VPCs, and Cloud Eye/LTS monitoring; the campus DNS team is moving an unrelated zone. Which action best addresses the requirement?

Cloud Computing Backup and DR

In a 2025 HUAWEI CLOUD Stack project for an energy trading desk, developers ask to keep hourly snapshots forever on high-IO disks. The platform includes ManageOne service catalog, FusionCompute resource pools, tenant VPCs, and Cloud Eye/LTS monitoring; the audit team asked for screenshots of the change window. Which action best addresses the requirement?

Cloud Computing Operations

A provincial tax bureau is running a 2024 HUAWEI CLOUD Stack environment with mixed ECS, EVS, VPC, CCE, and managed service workloads. During a change window, compliance requires monthly statements to remain readable for seven years while access after 90 days is rare; the audit team asked for screenshots of the change window. The operations lead must choose the action that preserves availability, governance, and exam-aligned architecture practice. What should the lead do first?

Cloud Computing O&M

In a 2024 HUAWEI CLOUD Stack project for a securities clearing center, after a migration, users report the app is slower but no pre-migration metrics were captured. The platform includes ManageOne service catalog, FusionCompute resource pools, tenant VPCs, and Cloud Eye/LTS monitoring; the security office added a new ticket classification field. Which action best addresses the requirement?

Cloud Computing Operations

During a 2024 HCIE-Cloud Computing design review for an energy trading desk, the architect is validating WAF placement. The environment uses HUAWEI CLOUD Stack with FusionCompute, ManageOne, tenant VPCs, and standard O&M controls; the security office added a new ticket classification field. Which choice is the most accurate decision?
