1Which OVHcloud service provides virtual machines billed per hour or month without requiring you to manage the underlying physical host?
A.Dedicated Server
B.Public Cloud Instances
C.Hosted Private Cloud
D.VPS
Explanation: Public Cloud Instances are OVHcloud's managed virtual machines provisioned on shared infrastructure, billed per hour or per month. Dedicated Servers give you full physical hardware. Hosted Private Cloud is a VMware-based managed environment. VPS is a separate lower-cost product with fixed resources.
2OVHcloud's vRack private network feature primarily allows you to do which of the following?
A.Expose your servers to the public internet with a single IP
B.Connect multiple OVHcloud services across different products and locations over a private Layer 2/3 network
C.Automatically balance HTTP traffic across your instances
D.Provide DDoS protection for your public endpoints
Explanation: vRack (Virtual Rack) is OVHcloud's private network technology that lets you interconnect Dedicated Servers, Public Cloud Instances, Hosted Private Cloud, and other services over an isolated Layer 2/3 network spanning data centers. It is not a load balancer, IP manager, or DDoS product.
3Which OVHcloud object storage protocol is natively S3-compatible, enabling use of standard AWS SDKs and tools like the AWS CLI?
A.OpenStack Swift
B.OVHcloud S3 Object Storage (High Performance)
C.NAS-HA
D.Block Storage volumes
Explanation: OVHcloud S3 Object Storage uses the S3 API, making it compatible with any tool or SDK written for the Amazon S3 interface, including the AWS CLI, boto3, and s3cmd. OpenStack Swift uses its own API and is a separate OVHcloud offering. NAS-HA is file-based, and Block Storage volumes are not object stores.
4In OVHcloud's Public Cloud, what is the main purpose of a 'Region'?
A.A billing group that aggregates invoices across accounts
B.A geographic availability zone used to group all OVHcloud data centers worldwide
C.An independent geographic location with its own set of services and availability zones where you deploy resources
D.A virtual private network connecting multiple projects
Explanation: A Region in OVHcloud Public Cloud is a distinct geographic location (e.g., GRA — Gravelines, France; SBG — Strasbourg, France; BHS — Beauharnois, Canada) with independent infrastructure, services, and availability. Choosing a region determines where your data is stored and processed.
5A customer wants to run a Kubernetes cluster without managing the control plane (master nodes). Which OVHcloud service should they use?
A.Public Cloud Instances with a manual kubeadm setup
B.Managed Kubernetes Service (OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes)
C.Hosted Private Cloud with Tanzu
D.Dedicated Server with k3s
Explanation: OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes Service provisions and manages the Kubernetes control plane for you; you only manage worker nodes (or use auto-scaling node pools). This eliminates the need to install, patch, or operate master nodes manually.
6Which statement about OVHcloud Dedicated Servers is correct?
A.They share physical CPU and RAM with other customers
B.They provide exclusive use of a full physical server with no hypervisor overhead
C.They are automatically managed and patched by OVHcloud, including the OS
D.They can only be rented on an hourly basis
Explanation: OVHcloud Dedicated Servers give you exclusive access to a full physical machine — all CPU cores, RAM, and storage are yours alone with no hypervisor sharing. You are responsible for OS installation and management; OVHcloud manages the physical hardware and network connectivity.
7What is OVHcloud's 'Hosted Private Cloud' (HPC) product based on?
A.OpenStack and KVM hypervisors managed by OVHcloud
B.VMware vSphere and vSAN running on dedicated hardware managed by OVHcloud
C.Proxmox clusters shared across multiple tenants
D.Microsoft Hyper-V clusters on multi-tenant hardware
Explanation: OVHcloud Hosted Private Cloud is built on VMware technology — specifically vSphere (compute), vSAN (hyper-converged storage), and NSX (networking) — running on dedicated hardware. OVHcloud manages the infrastructure layer while you retain full control of virtual machines and VMware configuration.
8Which OVHcloud storage service provides a managed relational database without requiring you to install or configure database software?
A.OVHcloud Block Storage
B.OVHcloud Managed Databases
C.OVHcloud Object Storage
D.OVHcloud NAS-HA
Explanation: OVHcloud Managed Databases is a DBaaS offering that provisions and manages relational and NoSQL database engines (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, Kafka, etc.) without the customer needing to install, configure, or patch the database software or OS.
9OVHcloud is headquartered in which country and is known for emphasis on data sovereignty aligned with which regulation?
A.United States; CCPA
B.France; GDPR
C.Germany; BDSG
D.Canada; PIPEDA
Explanation: OVHcloud is a French company headquartered in Roubaix, France, and heavily emphasizes GDPR compliance and European data sovereignty, operating the majority of its infrastructure within the European Union and positioning itself as a sovereign cloud alternative.
10A developer needs to automatically scale their Public Cloud Instances up and down based on CPU load. Which OVHcloud feature should they use?
A.vRack
B.Instance Resize
C.Auto Scaling (Instance Groups)
D.Public Cloud Load Balancer
Explanation: OVHcloud Auto Scaling (Instance Groups) allows you to define scaling policies that automatically add or remove Public Cloud Instances in response to metrics like CPU utilization. Manual instance resize changes the size of an existing instance but does not automate scaling. Load Balancer distributes traffic but does not scale the fleet.
