CTA Exam Dumps : ServiceNowCertified Technical Architect (CTA)

In the final planning stage of a ServiceNow integration, the CTA should prioritize assessingnetwork and system communication needs. This involves:

Connectivity: Verifying network connectivity between ServiceNow and the external system. This includes checking firewalls, ports, and any required network configurations.

Protocols: Determining the communication protocols to be used (e.g., REST, SOAP, JDBC).

Security: Ensuring secure communication channels, including authentication and encryption requirements.

Performance: Considering bandwidth requirements and potential performance impacts on both systems.

Why not the other options?

B. Determining the color scheme for integration UI: While UI considerations are important, they are not the primary focus during the technical details gathering stage.

C. Planning the communication for the integration go-live: Communication planning is important but separate from the technical details of the integration itself.

D. Estimating the projected integration data metrics: Data volume estimates are useful, but the primary focus is on ensuring successful communication between the systems.

Key governance factors for release and instance management include:

B. Operating model and development approach: Define the organization's approach to development (e.g., Agile, Waterfall), release cycles, and how different teams collaborate on the platform.

C. Platform scope and deployed applications: Clearly define the scope of the ServiceNow platform within the organization and the applications that will be deployed. This helps with planning and resource allocation.

E. Number and purpose of instance environments: Establish a clear instance strategy, including the number of instances (dev, test, prod, etc.), their purpose, and how they are used to support development and deployment processes.

Why not the other options?

A. Release performance and instance usage analytics: While these are important for monitoring and optimization, they are not primary governance factors.

D. Day-to-day instance performance metrics: These are operational metrics, not directly related to governance decisions.

Starting with the Washington DC release, ServiceNow is transitioning from Database Encryption to Cloud Encryption for protecting data at rest.

Cloud Encryption: This leverages the encryption capabilities of the underlying cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Azure) to provide a more robust and scalable encryption solution.

Enhanced Security: Cloud Encryption offers improved key management and security features compared to the previous Database Encryption.

Simplified Management: It reduces the administrative overhead associated with managing encryption keys.
