Alibaba Cloud Cloud Disks are zone-specific and can only be attached or detached between ECS instances within the same zone and under the same account. This restriction ensures low-latency access and high data availability within the specific zone. Before use, Cloud Disks must be formatted and mounted on an instance.

=================

The X-Forwarded-For field in HTTP header is used to identify the originating IP address of a client connecting to a web server through an HTTP proxy or a load balancer. When the “Obtain the Visitor’s Real IP Address” function is enabled in Alibaba Cloud SLB, the SLB instance adds the X-Forwarded-For field to the HTTP header of each request and forwards the request to the backend server. The backend server can then obtain the real IP address of the visitor from the X-Forwarded-For field1. The format of the X-Forwarded-For field is as follows:

X-Forwarded-For: client, proxy1, proxy2

where the value is a comma+space separated list of IP addresses, the left-most being the original client, and each successive proxy that passed the request adding the IP address where it received the request from. In this example, the request passed through proxy1, proxy2, and then the SLB instance (proxy3).2

Alibaba Cloud SLB’s "Rewrite Cookie" mode allows selective session persistence for specific subdomains by setting and rewriting cookies as specified. For example, you can enable session persistence on vip.a.com while leaving img.a.com without it. SLB uses the rewritten cookie to direct subsequent requests to the previously assigned backend server.

To improve access speeds for U.S. users, Company G can enable OSS with CDN in the West US (Silicon Valley) region. By deploying CDN in a region close to the target audience, the static content stored in OSS can be cached and delivered more efficiently. CDN caches the content at edge locations, reducing latency for users in different geographical areas. This approach is ideal for expanding the application to international markets while maintaining fast access times.

This is a correct description of distributed computing, where a large task is divided into smaller tasks, distributed across multiple nodes, and later recombined to produce the final result. Distributed computing is widely used to handle large-scale computations and improve processing efficiency.

To confirm a previously unhealthy instance is now healthy, Alibaba Cloud SLB requires three consecutive successful health checks. With a health check interval of 2 seconds and a response timeout of 5 seconds, each check cycle takes up to 5 seconds. Therefore, three successive health checks would take a minimum of 5×3=155 \times 3 = 155×3=15 seconds in total. However, because the health checks are conducted at 2-second intervals, there’s overlap, reducing the actual time to at least 11 seconds for the SLB to mark the instance as healthy.

 According to the Alibaba Cloud VPC documentation1, a virtual private cloud (VPC) is a virtual network dedicated to your Alibaba Cloud account. You have full control over your VPC, such as specifying the CIDR block, configuring route tables and gateways, and creating subnets. A VPC is an isolated network environment that provides security and flexibility for your cloud computing resources. You can use a VPC to build a secure and isolated network environment on Alibaba Cloud, design your network topology, and specify intranet IP addresses or CIDR blocks in this network environment as needed. Therefore, option B is the correct choice for your scenario. References: What is a VPC? and Alibaba Cloud Virtual Private Cloud.

When using Auto Scaling with Server Load Balancer (SLB), both the scaling group and the SLB instance must reside in the same region. This is because region-specific configurations enable low-latency connections and proper integration between the resources, ensuring the scaling group can register with the SLB instance effectively.

Alibaba Cloud Express Connect is a service that enables high-bandwidth, reliable, secure, and private connections between different networks, such as VPC networks across regions, Alibaba Cloud accounts, and on-premise data centers1. It supports different connection methods, such as physical connections, virtual border routers, and Express Cloud Connect1.

Scenario A: Intranet communication between VPCs and Smart Access Gateway in customers different branch offices. This scenario can be achieved by using Express Cloud Connect, which is based on the hardware capacities of Smart Access Gateway and provides SD-WAN capabilities1. Express Cloud Connect allows you to connect your branch offices to Alibaba Cloud through a dedicated partner backbone network, and access VPC networks in all regions1.

Scenario B: Intranet communication between a VPC and servers in an external IDC. This scenario can be achieved by using physical connections, which are dedicated network connections between on-premise data centers and VPC networks1. You can lease a line from your ISP or work with an Alibaba Cloud partner to establish a physical connection to Alibaba Cloud1. This way, you can access VPC networks in all regions with high bandwidth and low latency1.

Scenario C: Intranet communication between two VPCs in different accounts and different CIDR Blocks. This scenario can be achieved by using peering connections, which are logical connections that enable communication between VPC networks2. Peering connections support cross-region and cross-account scenarios, and allow you to connect VPC networks with different CIDR blocks2. However, peering connections are not part of Alibaba Cloud Express Connect, but a separate service called Cloud Enterprise Network2.

Scenario D: Intranet communication between two VPCs under the same account in the same region. This scenario can also be achieved by using peering connections, which are logical connections that enable communication between VPC networks2. Peering connections support intra-region and same-account scenarios, and allow you to connect VPC networks with different CIDR blocks2. However, peering connections are not part of Alibaba Cloud Express Connect, but a separate service called Cloud Enterprise Network2. References: 1: Express Connect - Alibaba Cloud 2: Introduction to Cloud Enterprise Network - Alibaba Cloud Document Center

Option A is correct because site monitoring is one of the functions provided by CloudMonitor. Site monitoring monitors the availability, connectivity, and domain name resolution of sites. It monitors the connectivity and response time of domain names, IP addresses, and ports, and sends alert notifications based on monitoring results1

Option B is correct because customized monitoring is one of the functions provided by CloudMonitor. Customized monitoring allows you to monitor the metrics of your own applications or services. You can use the CloudMonitor API or SDK to report custom metrics to CloudMonitor and view them on the CloudMonitor console. You can also configure alert rules for your custom metrics2

Option E is correct because cloud service monitoring is one of the functions provided by CloudMonitor. Cloud service monitoring monitors the metrics of Alibaba Cloud services, such as Elastic Compute Service (ECS), Object Storage Service (OSS), ApsaraDB for RDS, and Server Load Balancer (SLB). CloudMonitor collects the metrics of these services and displays them on the CloudMonitor console. You can also configure alert rules for these metrics2

Option C is incorrect because custom firewall is not a function provided by CloudMonitor. Custom firewall is a feature of Alibaba Cloud Security Center, which is a different service from CloudMonitor. Security Center provides security protection for your cloud resources and applications. Custom firewall allows you to customize firewall rules for your ECS instances and control the inbound and outbound traffic3

Option D is incorrect because operation auditing is not a function provided by CloudMonitor. Operation auditing is a feature of Alibaba Cloud ActionTrail, which is a different service from CloudMonitor. ActionTrail records the operations performed on your Alibaba Cloud resources and delivers the audit logs to OSS or Log Service for storage and analysis. Operation auditing helps you track the changes of your resources and comply with security standards4
