The questions are tricky, not due to its complexity, but due to its terminologies. IBM try hard to impress you with there 'dialect' about cloud computing. Is that an effort to establish industrial standards? Oh, they'd better M&A VMware.
Some sample questions (not from their quiz, but quite similar):

A. replace the failed node
B. restart the software image
C. use elastic IP addresses for consistent and re-mappable routes
D. allow the state of the system to re-sync by reloading messages from queues
E. design services with proper real time disaster recovery and stateful user context
Answer: D,E

I compiled a 84-page preparation material with 54 IBM cloud certification answered questions for anyone who need it. Most questions in the smart cloud quiz are covered. All you need to do is download it, open it and "Ctrl+F".
Though it's the last day of the smart cloud quiz, I believe this compiled document will also be helpful to people in preparation of IBM 000-028/000-032 certification exam.
