1 / 10

Which public cloud platforms commonly support deploying Secure Firewall Threat Defense Virtual (FTDv) as an instance, among others?

Only a single, proprietary Cisco-owned public cloud with no third-party options

Only mobile app stores with no cloud infrastructure involvement

Only peer-to-peer file sharing networks

Only on-premises private clouds with no public cloud support at all

Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Only mainframe computing environments from the 1970s

2 / 10

Which cloud deployment consideration is important regarding the number and role of network interfaces attached to an FTDv instance in a public cloud environment?

Cloud-deployed FTDv instances automatically detect and configure all interface roles with zero administrator input, which is inconsistent with expected behavior, though this is not generally recommended

Interface roles are entirely irrelevant in cloud deployments and can be assigned arbitrarily with no guidance

Interfaces are typically mapped to specific roles (such as management, diagnostic, and data interfaces) according to the cloud provider's supported instance networking model

Interface role mapping only applies to on-premises deployments and never to cloud deployments

Cloud instances of FTDv never support more than a single interface under any circumstance

Cloud-deployed FTDv instances cannot have a management interface at all

3 / 10

Which cloud-native scaling approach can be used alongside FTDv deployments in public cloud environments to automatically adjust the number of firewall instances based on load?

Disabling all instances whenever load increases

Auto scaling (using cloud provider auto-scaling groups/templates integrated with FTDv deployment automation)

Manually powering on a new physical appliance in a data center for every load increase, in accordance with common design practices

Manually re-cabling network connections for every load change

Relying solely on a fixed, unchangeable single instance regardless of load

Physically shipping additional hardware to the cloud provider's data center

4 / 10

Which licensing approach is commonly available for FTDv instances running in public cloud marketplaces, in addition to bringing an existing Cisco Smart License?

Licensing requires an in-person visit to a Cisco office

Licensing is only available via a physical mail-in rebate form

Cloud-deployed instances are always entirely unlicensed and require no purchase of any kind, which does not align with best practices

Licensing can only be obtained by purchasing physical hardware separately

Cloud marketplace deployments are incompatible with any form of licensing

Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) consumption-based licensing purchased directly through the cloud marketplace

5 / 10

Which management option applies to FTDv instances deployed in a public cloud, similar to on-premises virtual and physical deployments?

Cloud-deployed FTDv instances cannot be centrally managed under any circumstance

Management requires an entirely separate, unrelated non-Cisco management product with no supported integration

Management is only possible by physically visiting the cloud provider's data center

Management is only possible through a fax-based configuration system

Management via Secure Firewall Management Center (on-premises or cloud-delivered) or local management via Secure Firewall Device Manager

Cloud-deployed FTDv instances are managed exclusively through the cloud provider's native firewall console with no Cisco management option

6 / 10

Which network security group / cloud firewall configuration consideration is important when deploying FTDv in a public cloud virtual network, given that the cloud provider's own network controls sit alongside the FTDv instance?

Only one of FTDv policy or cloud-native security groups can ever be used, never both together

Cloud-native security groups only apply to storage resources and never to network traffic

FTDv automatically overrides and disables all cloud-native security groups upon deployment

Cloud-native security groups/network ACLs must be configured to permit the traffic flows FTDv needs to see and process, complementing rather than conflicting with FTDv's own policy

Cloud-native security groups are entirely irrelevant once FTDv is deployed and can be ignored completely, in most deployment scenarios, based on standard platform behavior, based on standard platform behavior

Cloud-native security groups must always be configured to deny all traffic permanently

7 / 10

Which factor should be considered when selecting the cloud instance type/size for an FTDv deployment in a public cloud, similar to sizing an on-premises virtual machine?

The smallest available instance type is always sufficient regardless of expected throughput

Instance type selection is determined solely by the administrator's preferred time zone

Instance type only affects the cloud provider's billing currency and nothing else

The instance type must meet Cisco's minimum vCPU and memory requirements for FTDv to support the expected throughput

Instance type selection is entirely irrelevant since all cloud instance sizes perform identically, which is inconsistent with expected behavior

Only the storage volume type matters, with compute resources being completely irrelevant

8 / 10

Which deployment automation approach is commonly used to consistently and repeatably deploy FTDv instances across a public cloud environment, particularly in auto-scaling scenarios?

Infrastructure-as-code templates (such as cloud-native templates or Terraform) combined with FTDv-specific deployment automation

Deploying every instance from a single shared physical USB drive plugged into the cloud provider's hardware

Manually retyping the exact same configuration by hand for every new instance with no template reuse

Relying solely on verbal phone instructions to a cloud provider representative for each deployment

Physically mailing a configuration file to the cloud provider's support team for manual entry

Manually clicking through the cloud console one step at a time for every single instance with no automation, which is inconsistent with expected behavior

9 / 10

Which reason would most likely drive an organization to deploy FTDv in a public cloud rather than exclusively on-premises?

The organization has no interest in scaling capacity dynamically under any circumstance

The organization runs workloads in the public cloud and needs consistent Cisco Secure Firewall protection and policy across both on-premises and cloud environments

The organization wants to eliminate the need for any firewall protection entirely

The organization wants to avoid any consistency between on-premises and cloud security policy

The organization requires a solution that cannot be centrally managed under any circumstance

The organization has explicitly decided to run no workloads in any public cloud whatsoever

10 / 10

Which combination of design considerations would provide the most consistent and scalable FTDv deployment across a hybrid on-premises and public cloud environment?

Cloud-native security groups left in their default state with no review against FTDv policy needs

No plan at all for how on-premises and cloud policies should relate to one another

Manually deployed cloud instances with no automation and no consistent sizing approach

A single fixed instance size used regardless of actual workload throughput requirements

Centralized management (via FMC) spanning both on-premises and cloud FTDv instances, infrastructure-as-code deployment automation in the cloud, properly sized instances per workload, and cloud-native security groups configured to complement FTDv policy

Fully separate, unsynchronized management platforms for on-premises versus cloud instances with no shared policy
