Question#1

Which activity best supports a ransomware-recovery strategy after threat detection?
Select ONE answer.

A. Delete all historical snapshots.
B. Remove archive copies to reduce cost.
C. Test recovery of clean recovery points in advance.
D. Allow every user to alter retention.

Explanation:
Recovery testing validates that clean, usable recovery points and procedures are available. Deleting copies or broadening privilege reduces resilience.
Blueprint objective: Domain 3 ― Design cyber-resiliency solutions.

Question#2

Which capability should be considered when SOC analysts need to investigate potential compromise indicators in protected data?
Select ONE answer.

A. CloudTier
B. Protection-policy quiet times
C. Threat hunting, scanning, and detection
D. Source registration

Explanation:
Those security functions address investigation of potential threats. Tiering, quiet times, and registration do not analyze compromise indicators.
Blueprint objective: Domain 3 ― Design cyber-resiliency solutions.

Question#3

An architect is considering a multi-cloud architecture.
Which requirement should be assessed for every workload before deciding where copies reside?
Select ONE answer.

A. A common local user name
B. Data residency, recovery, and compliance constraints
C. A common file extension
D. A common browser version

Explanation:
Location decisions must fit regulatory and recovery requirements. User names, file extensions, and browsers do not establish lawful or recoverable data placement.
Blueprint objective: Domain 2 ― Design an end-to-end hybrid or multi-cloud solution.

Question#4

Which capability is most relevant when a design requires custom orchestration beyond the standard UI workflow?
Select ONE answer.

A. Cohesity REST API
B. CloudTier
C. Data classification
D. DataLock

Explanation:
The REST API supports custom automation and integrations. Tiering, classification, and retention locking do not provide an automation interface.
Blueprint objective: Domain 4 ― Use Cohesity API for custom automation.

Question#5

An architect compares the original design with actual cluster consumption and finds much higher-than-planned growth.
What is this analysis primarily used for?
Select ONE answer.

A. Changing the exam language
B. Expansion planning and gap analysis
C. Replacing all security roles
D. Selecting a report color scheme

Explanation:
Comparing as-built and as-used capacity and performance helps identify gaps and future expansion needs. The other actions do not respond to consumption variance.
Blueprint objective: Domain 5 ― Capture usage data for as-built versus as-used and expansion requirements.
