Alibaba ACP-Cloud1 Exam - Topic 4 Question 89 Discussion

Actual exam question for Alibaba's ACP-Cloud1 exam

Question #: 89
Topic #: 4

You have set an alert policy for the disk usage of an ECS instance by using Alibaba Cloud CloudMonitor. Each measurement cycle lasts for 5 minutes, during which the average disk usage is measured. If the average disk usage exceeds 80% for five consecutive measurement cycles, an alert will be reported. After your average disk usage exceeds 80%, how long will it take to receive an alert?

A0 minutes

B30 minutes

C40 minutes

D20 minutes

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

With a measurement cycle of 5 minutes and a requirement for five consecutive cycles where disk usage exceeds 80%, it would take 55=255 times 5 = 2555=25 minutes for CloudMonitor to confirm the condition. After confirmation, CloudMonitor typically processes and sends the alert, which may take an additional 5 minutes, totaling approximately 30 minutes before you receive the alert.

Yeah, I agree. 5 cycles means 25 minutes, plus the alert time.

I think it’s 30 minutes. Five cycles of 5 minutes each.

I bet the developers who wrote this question were disk-ussing it over a cup of coffee. (Pun intended)

D) 20 minutes seems like the right answer. Why would it take 40 minutes? That's way too long.

I think the answer is B) 30 minutes. It's 5 cycles of 5 minutes, so that's 25 minutes, and then the alert is reported.

The correct answer is C) 40 minutes. It takes 5 consecutive measurement cycles of 5 minutes each, so that's 25 minutes.

I practiced a similar question, and I think the alert would come after 40 minutes since we need to account for the initial exceedance too.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about needing to wait for the cycles to complete before the alert goes off.

If each cycle is 5 minutes and we need five consecutive cycles, that sounds like 25 minutes to me, but I could be wrong.

Hmm, I'm going with C) 40 minutes. It makes sense that it would take 5 cycles of 5 minutes each to trigger the alert.

I think the alert triggers after five cycles, so that would be 25 minutes total, right?

Ah, I see now. The question is asking how long it takes to receive the alert, not how long the average disk usage has to exceed 80%. The answer is definitely B) 30 minutes.

I've got it! The alert is triggered after the average disk usage exceeds 80% for 5 consecutive 5-minute cycles. That means the total time is 25 minutes. The answer must be B) 30 minutes.

I'm a bit confused. Does the question mean the average disk usage has to exceed 80% for the entire 25 minutes, or just for the last 5 minutes of that period?

Okay, let me think this through. Each cycle is 5 minutes, and the alert is triggered after 5 consecutive cycles. So the total time must be 25 minutes, right?

Hmm, this seems straightforward. I just need to calculate the time it takes for the average disk usage to exceed 80% for five consecutive cycles.
