Questions for the ACP-CLOUD1 were updated on : Nov 21 ,2025
Which of the following database engines are compatible with RDS? (Choose three.)
A, B, C
Explanation:
Alibaba Cloud RDS supports several popular database engines, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and
SQL Server. PPAS (PostgreSQL Plus Advanced Server) is also supported but not Sybase, which is not
available as an RDS option on Alibaba Cloud.
A user builds an ECS + SLB + RDS architecture on Alibaba Cloud, with Auto Scaling to dynamically
manage ECS instances. For business needs, they use ApsaraDB for Redis as a cache for hot data,
requiring ECS instances to be added or removed from the Redis whitelist as they scale. As an Alibaba
Cloud architect, which three Auto Scaling and OOS features would you recommend to automate
adding and removing instances from the Redis whitelist? (Choose three.)
A, B, C
Explanation:
Using lifecycle hooks in Auto Scaling allows for custom operations, such as updating the Redis
whitelist when instances are added or removed. An OOS (Operation Orchestration Service) template
can automate this process, and MNS (Message Notification Service) can trigger events to inform
Redis when changes occur.
In Auto Scaling, the cool-down time of a scaling group refers to the lockout period after a scaling
activity has been executed successfully. Which of the following statements about cool-down time are
true? (Choose two.)
A, C
Explanation:
During cool-down time, scaling activities in the same scaling group are temporarily locked to avoid
unnecessary scaling activities. The cool-down time begins once all ECS instances in a multi-instance
scaling action are added or removed.
Alibaba Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a distributed network built on top of a base
network with edge node server clusters distributed across various regions. If a user finds that the
CDN cache hit rate is low, the possible reasons are ____________. (Choose three.)
A, B, D
Explanation:
A low CDN cache hit rate can be due to low website traffic, poor cache configurations (such as a
short Cache Expiry Time), or the presence of dynamic resources that require frequent retrieval from
the origin. Proper configuration of "Cache-Control" and "Expires" headers is necessary to ensure
caching.
Availability Zones refer to data centers in the same region with independent power grids and
networks. Which of the following statements are true for Zones? (Choose three.)
B, C, D
Explanation:
Zones in the same region support low-latency intranet communication, ideal for high-availability
deployments with inter-Zone fault isolation. Placement of ECS instances in the same or different
Zones depends on the disaster recovery and latency needs of the application.
When distributing loads to multiple ECS instances with an Alibaba Cloud Server Load Balancer (SLB),
you can obtain the real IP addresses of users who initiate the requests through _____________.
(Choose two.)
A, B
Explanation:
In Alibaba Cloud SLB, Layer-7 (HTTP/HTTPS) services require enabling the "X-Forwarded-For" header
to retrieve the real IP address of clients, while Layer-4 (TCP/UDP) services can obtain the real IP
address directly without additional settings.
Alibaba Cloud CloudMonitor allows you to customize monitoring metrics and alert policies. Which of
the following statements about customized monitoring are correct? (Choose two.)
A, D
Explanation:
CloudMonitor allows users to create custom monitoring metrics and report data, which can then be
analyzed and used for alerts. Customized monitoring is flexible, with no set limits on the number of
metrics, and users can report data from Alibaba Cloud servers or other devices.
Cloud computing adopts a common model in Distributed Systems. It distributes a computing task to a
resource pool (comprised of a large number of computers). Elastic utilization of the resource pool
allows applications to obtain computing capacity, storage space, and message services according to
needs. Which of the following statements are correct about cloud computing? (Choose four.)
A, B, C, D
Explanation:
Cloud computing is characterized by large-scale infrastructure, high availability, on-demand service
provisioning, and versatility in handling diverse applications and workloads. It supports both multi-
tenant and single-tenant configurations, and although containerization is popular, cloud computing is
not limited to container-based architectures.
Alibaba Cloud OSS is a cloud storage service that features massive capacity, outstanding security, low
costs, and high reliability. When talking about information security, the advantages of using OSS are
____________. (Choose two.)
C, D
Explanation:
Alibaba Cloud OSS offers Server Side Encryption to protect data at rest, enhancing security. It also
supports multi-region replication with Primary/Secondary region configurations for additional data
reliability and disaster recovery. Anti-DDoS is not an inherent feature of OSS, and multi-user isolation
is achieved via Alibaba Cloud’s Resource Access Management (RAM).
Which of the following Alibaba Cloud products can provide Anti-DDoS service? (Choose two.)
B, C
Explanation:
Alibaba Cloud provides two main products for Anti-DDoS protection: Anti-DDoS Origin Service,
which protects against attacks at the origin server level, and Anti-DDoS Pro Service, which offers
advanced DDoS mitigation for applications hosted on Alibaba Cloud. Security Center and Cloud
Firewall offer different security functionalities but do not provide direct Anti-DDoS services.
Alibaba Cloud's Object Storage Service (OSS) can be used to store a large amount of data, but there is
still a maximum number of files in a single bucket.
B
Explanation:
There is no limit on the number of objects that can be stored in a single OSS bucket in Alibaba Cloud.
OSS is designed to support massive data storage, allowing users to store an unlimited number of files
within a bucket. The only limitations are the bucket storage capacity and account-level quotas.
Alibaba Cloud Object Storage is suitable for storing unstructured data such as pictures and videos.
A
Explanation:
Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS) is ideal for storing unstructured data, including media
files such as pictures, videos, and documents. OSS offers scalable storage, high durability, and easy
access, making it well-suited for handling large volumes of unstructured data.
After activating an SLB, it will be assigned an IP address. The SLB will keep this IP address until it is
released.
A
Explanation:
Alibaba Cloud SLB instances are assigned a public or private IP address when created, and this IP
remains unchanged for the life of the SLB instance. The IP address will only be released when the SLB
instance itself is deleted.
In Auto Scaling, a scaling group refers to the collection of ECS instances deployed with the same
applications, where these ECS instances can be charged by monthly subscription or Pay-As-You-Go.
For scenarios with abrupt service traffic change, Pay-As-You-Go ECS instances can meet service
requirements while minimizing cost. For monthly subscription ECS instances, you can manually add
the idle instances to the scaling group to take full advantage of idle resources.
A
Explanation:
Auto Scaling in Alibaba Cloud supports both Pay-As-You-Go and monthly subscription ECS instances
within a scaling group. Pay-As-You-Go instances provide flexibility during traffic surges, while idle
monthly subscription instances can be added manually to optimize costs and resource usage.
All versions of Alibaba Cloud RDS use master-slave mode to ensure high availability. When the
master database fails, RDS will switch to the standby database within 30 seconds.
A
Explanation:
Alibaba Cloud RDS uses a master-slave or primary-replica architecture to provide high availability. In
the event of a master database failure, automatic failover to the standby instance generally occurs
within 30 seconds, helping to minimize downtime and maintain service continuity.
