 To manually install Alibaba Cloud Security Center on the server, you need to have the system administrator privilege. This is because the Security Center agent requires access to the system files and processes, and can perform security operations such as vulnerability scanning, intrusion detection, and threat blocking. A common user privilege or a database access privilege is not sufficient to install the Security Center agent. An FTP service privilege is irrelevant to the installation process. 

Alibaba Cloud ECS Open API supports both HTTP GET and POST requests. While GET requests are common, POST requests are often used for secure data transfer and handling complex request parameters. Therefore, you are not limited to using only GET requests when interacting with the ECS API.

SQL injection attacks primarily target databases by exploiting vulnerabilities in web applications. Attackers manipulate SQL queries to gain unauthorized access to the application's backend database, which may lead to data leakage or destruction. Although SQL injection affects the data stored in databases and not directly files or images on the server, the primary target remains the application layer through which the attack is conducted.

 According to the Alibaba Cloud VPC documentation1, a virtual private cloud (VPC) is a virtual network dedicated to your Alibaba Cloud account. You have full control over your VPC, such as specifying the CIDR block, configuring route tables and gateways, and creating subnets. A VPC is an isolated network environment that provides security and flexibility for your cloud computing resources. You can use a VPC to build a secure and isolated network environment on Alibaba Cloud, design your network topology, and specify intranet IP addresses or CIDR blocks in this network environment as needed. Therefore, option B is the correct choice for your scenario. References: What is a VPC? and Alibaba Cloud Virtual Private Cloud.

Data Transmission Service (DTS) is a real-time data streaming service that supports data transmission between data sources such as relational databases, NoSQL, and Big Data (OLAP). DTS supports data migration, data synchronization, and change data subscription scenarios. DTS can migrate your data to and from most of the widely used commercial and open source databases. It supports homogeneous migrations such as MySQL to MySQL, as well as heterogeneous migrations between different database platforms, such as Oracle to MySQL. Migrations can be from on-premises databases to RDS or ECS, databases running on ECS to RDS, or vice versa, as well as from one RDS database to another RDS database. DTS also supports database schema replication between instances, which means that DTS can automatically create the same schema as the source database in the target database. DTS also supports warning when source and destination has some unresolved conflict found, such as data type mismatch, primary key conflict, or foreign key constraint violation. DTS can help you resolve these conflicts by providing suggestions or allowing you to modify the data mapping rules. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Supports all of the above functions. References:

OSS logging is a feature that allows you to record the access requests to your OSS buckets. You can enable and configure logging for a bucket in the OSS console or by using the OSS API. When logging is enabled for a bucket A, OSS automatically generates access log objects every hour and stores them in a specified bucket B. The log objects follow a predefined naming convention that includes the source bucket name, the date, the hour, and a unique string.

The documentation also states that buckets A and B can be separate buckets or the same bucket, but they must belong to the same user1. This means that you cannot store the access logs of one user’s bucket in another user’s bucket. Therefore, the correct answer is A.

Elastic Computing on Alibaba Cloud ECS includes features that allow users to quickly start or release multiple instances, upgrade bandwidth without downtime, adjust CPU and memory configurations, and perform horizontal scaling in conjunction with Server Load Balancer (SLB). However, option E is incorrect as there is a limit to the number of disks that can be attached to an ECS instance.

In Alibaba Cloud RDS, read-only instances are synchronized from the master instance but do not allow actions such as creating or deleting databases, configuring backup policies, or changing account authorizations. However, you can configure the read-only instance’s whitelist to control access.

When using Alibaba Cloud SLB, you can set different weights for backend ECS instances. The higher the weight of a backend ECS instance, the more load will be assigned to it. However, the load distribution is not based on the absolute value of the weight, but on the proportion of the weight in the total weight of all healthy backend ECS instances. For example, if there are two healthy backend ECS instances with weights of 100 and 200 respectively, the first instance will receive 33.3% of the load, and the second instance will receive 66.7% of the load. Therefore, to determine the load distribution of the 5 ECS instances in the question, we need to know the weight settings of the remaining 4 ECS instances. Without this information, we cannot tell what would happen. The other options are incorrect because they are based on wrong assumptions or misunderstandings of the SLB weight setting mechanism. 

In Alibaba Cloud, a scaling group can be associated with multiple SLB instances as long as they are in the same region, allowing distributed load handling across multiple load balancers. However, there is no requirement for SLB instances or scaling configurations to be in the same zone, making it region-specific instead of zone-specific.
