1Exoscale organizes its infrastructure into geographic locations called zones. Which of the following best describes an Exoscale zone?
A.A logical grouping of virtual machines within a single data center
B.An isolated, independent data center location within a country or region
C.A virtual network segment used to separate tenant traffic
D.A backup facility that activates only during disasters
Explanation: An Exoscale zone is a fully independent data center location (for example, ch-gva-2 in Geneva or de-fra-1 in Frankfurt). Each zone operates independently, so a failure in one zone does not affect another. Zones are the fundamental unit of geographic placement for Exoscale resources.
2Which of the following is a European zone offered by Exoscale?
A.us-east-1
B.ap-southeast-1
C.at-vie-1
D.ca-central-1
Explanation: at-vie-1 is Exoscale's Vienna, Austria zone — one of several European zones including ch-gva-2 (Geneva), ch-dk-2 (Zurich), de-fra-1 (Frankfurt), bg-sof-1 (Sofia), and de-muc-1 (Munich). Exoscale is a European cloud provider with no US or APAC zones.
3What type of API does Exoscale Simple Object Storage (SOS) expose, making it compatible with a wide range of existing tools and SDKs?
A.Azure Blob Storage API
B.Google Cloud Storage JSON API
C.Amazon S3-compatible API
D.OpenStack Swift API
Explanation: Exoscale SOS is fully S3-compatible, meaning tools and SDKs written for Amazon S3 (such as the AWS CLI, s3cmd, boto3, rclone, and MinIO client) work directly with SOS without modification. This compatibility is a key design feature of Exoscale object storage.
4When creating an Exoscale Compute instance, which configuration element controls inbound and outbound network traffic at the instance level?
A.Network Access Control List (NACL)
B.Security Group
C.Private Network firewall
D.Elastic IP policy
Explanation: Exoscale Security Groups are stateful firewall rule sets attached to instances. They control which inbound and outbound traffic is allowed at the instance level. By default, no inbound traffic is allowed; you must explicitly add rules to permit SSH, HTTP, or other protocols.
5You want to ensure that two Exoscale Compute instances are never placed on the same physical host to maximize fault tolerance. Which feature should you use?
A.Instance Pool with multiple zones
B.Anti-Affinity Group
C.Elastic IP shared between instances
D.Private Network spanning two instances
Explanation: Exoscale Anti-Affinity Groups guarantee that instances within the group are placed on different physical hosts. This is the standard mechanism to spread critical workloads across separate hardware, reducing the risk that a single hardware failure impacts all instances of an application.
6What is an Exoscale Instance Template?
A.A billing plan that bundles vCPU, RAM, and disk
B.A pre-built disk image used as the boot source when launching an instance
C.A security policy applied automatically to all new instances
D.A network configuration exported from one instance and imported to another
Explanation: An Exoscale Instance Template is a disk image (typically containing an operating system) from which new Compute instances are launched. Exoscale provides official templates (Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky Linux, Windows, etc.) and you can register custom templates from exported snapshots or uploaded images.
7Which Exoscale DNS feature allows you to delegate an entire subdomain to a separate set of authoritative name servers?
A.ALIAS record
B.NS (Name Server) record delegation
C.CNAME chain forwarding
D.PTR record reverse delegation
Explanation: An NS record in Exoscale DNS is used to delegate a subdomain to a different set of authoritative name servers. This is standard DNS delegation: by adding NS records for a subdomain, you direct resolvers to query the listed name servers for all records under that subdomain.
8An Exoscale Elastic IP (EIP) differs from the default ephemeral public IP in which important way?
A.Elastic IPs support IPv6, while ephemeral IPs are IPv4 only
B.Elastic IPs persist independently of any instance and can be remapped to a different instance
C.Elastic IPs have no additional cost, while ephemeral IPs are billed per hour
D.Elastic IPs are allocated per zone and are globally unique across all Exoscale zones
Explanation: An Exoscale Elastic IP is a static public IP address that exists independently of any single instance. You can detach it from one instance and attach it to another (for example, during failover or maintenance) without changing the public IP address seen by external clients. Ephemeral IPs are released when the instance is stopped or deleted.
9Exoscale SOS buckets are created at the zone level. What is the consequence of this design?
A.Objects in one zone are automatically replicated to all other Exoscale zones
B.A bucket in ch-gva-2 is only accessible through the Geneva endpoint and its data resides in that zone
C.Bucket names must be unique only within a single zone
D.SOS buckets can be moved between zones with a single API call
Explanation: Exoscale SOS is zone-scoped: a bucket created in ch-gva-2 stores data in Geneva and is accessed through the Geneva SOS endpoint (sos-ch-gva-2.exo.io). There is no automatic cross-zone replication; data sovereignty and data residency are maintained within the chosen zone.
10Which Exoscale service provides managed Kubernetes clusters (SKS)?
A.Exoscale Instance Pools
B.Exoscale Scalable Kubernetes Service (SKS)
C.Exoscale DBaaS
D.Exoscale NLB
Explanation: Exoscale SKS (Scalable Kubernetes Service) is the managed Kubernetes offering. It provisions and manages the Kubernetes control plane, and you add worker node pools (backed by Exoscale Compute instances) to run your workloads. SKS integrates with other Exoscale services such as NLB and block storage.
