Sample questions
Three questions from the AD0-E121 practice bank, with the answer and why each option is right or wrong.
Question 1
Which service in Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service extracts descriptive tags from uploaded images with Adobe AI and then generates renditions in several sizes and formats?
- A. Replication Service
- B. Assets Compute service
- C. Edge Delivery Assets tier
Answer: B. In the architecture of Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service, the Assets Compute service processes uploaded images, videos and documents. It can use Adobe AI to extract metadata and then generates renditions, with access to APIs such as those of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom. Delivery of published media is a separate tier. [2]
- A. Wrong. The Replication Service processes the publish operations that authors issue and provides published content to the publish tiers. It does not generate renditions.
- B. Right. The Assets Compute service processes uploaded images, videos and documents, including PDF and Photoshop files. Processing can use Adobe AI to extract metadata such as descriptive tags, then generate renditions such as different sizes or formats.
- C. Wrong. The Edge Delivery Assets tier delivers approved and published media items, such as images and videos. It does not process uploads.
Question 2
A security team must hold its own encryption keys for data at rest in a production program of Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service. What should the business practitioner tell the team?
- A. Customer Managed Keys can be enabled for the program, subject to entitlements
- B. Customer Managed Keys are on by default for every production program
- C. Customer Managed Keys can be set per page in page properties
Answer: A. Some hosting requirements are settled when a production program is created. Customer Managed Keys, where the entitlement allows, let a business supply its own encryption keys for data at rest. Check the entitlement before the program is set up. [3]
- A. Right. Adobe notes that, depending on your organization's entitlements, you may be able to enable Customer Managed Keys (CMK) for a production program, to supply your own encryption keys for data at rest.
- B. Wrong. Adobe ties Customer Managed Keys to the organization's entitlements. They are not on by default for every program.
- C. Wrong. Adobe describes Customer Managed Keys at the level of a production program. It describes no key setting per page.
Question 3
A documentation lead must justify Adobe Experience Manager Guides to a finance team that cares most about translation spend and about consistent product information before and after a sale. Which outcome should the business practitioner present?
- A. Consistent sales content, with no localization work for any topic
- B. Consistent sales content, with lower localization time and costs
- C. Consistent sales content, with Guides hosted outside Adobe Experience Manager
Answer: B. For a finance audience, the case for Guides rests on consistent content across the sales cycle and lower localization time and costs. Translation stays one of the core CCMS functions, together with collaboration, review, search and reports. [4]
- A. Wrong. Adobe lists translation among the core CCMS functions of Guides, so topics are still localized. Adobe promises lower localization time and costs, not zero localization.
- B. Right. Adobe says Guides lets enterprises ensure consistency and uniformity in pre and post sales content, and that localization time and costs reduce.
- C. Wrong. Adobe describes Guides as enabling native DITA support in Adobe Experience Manager. It runs inside Adobe Experience Manager, and Adobe makes no hosting cost claim.
