Answer :
  • A computing infrastructure where compute. Network, and storage can be provisioned and managed over the internet.

Explanation :

Iaas : Infrastructure as a Service : This provides entire Infrastructure in cloud environment, which prevents Organizations to spend on Datacenter cost, hence also reduces Datacenter overhead. PaaS : Platform as a Service : Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud, with resources that enable you to deliver everything from simple cloud-based apps to sophisticated, cloud-enabled enterprise applications SaaS : Software as a Service : Software as a Service (SaaS) allows users to connect to and use cloud-based apps over the Internet. Common examples are email, calendaring, and office tools (such as Microsoft Office 365).
Answer :
  • Citrix cloud Resource Locations.

Explanation :

Microsoft Azure cloud platform is just considered as a Resource Location as similar on-premises resource location, and as per Citrix Cloud requirements - each resource location must have sufficient resources (Hypervisors, VDAs, StoreFront Servers) to serve users associated to that resource location. It should also have Cloud Connectors to communicate with Citrix cloud, just like we have on-premises.
Answer :
  • Migrate application settings

Explanation :

Because Storefront & Gateway are optional components, so no need to migrate. Policies can be re-created in Citrix studio or migrated to Microsoft GPO based policies. Delivery groups have to be re-created in Citrix Cloud Studio, so at last Manual application settings have to be migrated to Citrix Cloud, because application settings cannot be imported from on-premises.
Answer :
  • The Citrix Administrator credentials are used to verify the delegated administrator has sufficient privileges to create an MCS catalog.

Explanation :

From Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops v7.x , there is a concept of Delegated Administrators, so authorized administrator as a Machine catalog administrator only has permissions to create MCS catalog. Other Delegated administrators do not have permissions to create MCS catalog in Citrix, unless they have Machine Catalog administrator permissions.
Answer :
  • Registration requests are proxied through the Citrix Cloud Connectors to the Citrix Cloud Delivery Controllers.

Explanation :

When using Citrix cloud solution, then we have Delivery Controllers in Citrix Cloud and Cloud Connectors in place of DDCs in Control layer, As VDAs are part of on-premises location, so they must register themselves to Cloud Connectors FQDN, which is then proxied to Cloud Delivery Controllers over outboud port 443.
