List of questions
Question 61

A cloud engineer was deploying the company's payment processing application, but it failed with the following error log:
ERFOR:root: Transaction failed http 429 response, please try again Which of the following are the most likely causes for this error? (Select two).
The error 'http 429 response, please try again' typically indicates API throttling, where the number of requests exceeds the rate limit set by the API provider, and insufficient quota, where the allowed number of API calls within a given timeframe has been exceeded.
Reference: API throttling and quota management are key concepts in the management of cloud resources, as highlighted in the CompTIA Cloud+ curriculum.
Question 62

An organization's web application experiences penodic bursts of traffic when a new video is launched. Users are reporting poor performance in the middle of the month. Which of the following scaling approaches should the organization use to scale based on forecasted traffic?
For periodic bursts of traffic that are predictable, such as when a new video is launched, a scheduled scaling approach is suitable. This strategy involves scaling resources based on forecasted or known traffic patterns, ensuring that the infrastructure can handle the load during expected peak times.
Reference: The use of scheduled scaling to manage predictable traffic increases is discussed within the Management and Technical Operations section of the CompTIA Cloud+ exam objectives.
Question 63

An organization needs to retain its data for compliance reasons but only when required. Which of the following would be the most cost-effective type of tiered storage?
Archive storage is the most cost-effective type of tiered storage for retaining data that is infrequently accessed and only when required for compliance reasons. It is designed for long-term storage and offers lower storage costs compared to hot, cold, or warm storage tiers.
Reference: Understanding data storage and the various tiers, including archival storage, is part of cloud storage strategies covered in the CompTIA Cloud+ certification.
Question 64

A developer is building a new application version using a CI/CD pipeline. The developer receives the following error message log when the build fails:
Which of the following is the most likely cause of this failure?
The error message indicates that the 'requests' module, which is a dependency, is not found. The failure is most likely due to the 'requests' library not being installed or not included in the environment where the application is running.
Reference: Dependency management is a crucial part of maintaining a CI/CD pipeline, a topic included in the CompTIA Cloud+ examination objectives.
Question 65

Which of the following cloud deployment strategies is best for an organization that wants to run open-source workloads with other organizations that are sharing the cost?
A community cloud deployment strategy is best for an organization that wants to run open-source workloads with other organizations while sharing the cost. Community clouds are collaborative efforts where infrastructure is shared between several organizations with common concerns, which could be regulatory, security, or compliance-related.
Reference: The concept of community clouds is discussed in the domain of Cloud Concepts within the CompTIA Cloud+ exam objectives.
Question 66

A cloud administrator shortens the amount of time a backup runs. An executive in the company requires a guarantee that the backups can be restored with no data loss. Which of th following backup features should the administrator lest for?
To guarantee that backups can be restored with no data loss, the administrator should test for data integrity. This ensures that the data has not been altered during the backup process and that it can be restored to its original state.
Reference: Backup integrity is a critical aspect of data management and protection, which falls under the best practices for backups and restoration in the CompTIA Cloud+ curriculum.
Question 67

Which of the following is the best type of database for storing different types of unstructured data that may change frequently?
Non-relational (NoSQL) databases are best for storing different types of unstructured data that may change frequently. They are designed to handle a wide variety of data types and are not constrained by the fixed schema of relational databases, making them more flexible and scalable for unstructured data.
Reference: The distinction between relational and non-relational databases and their use cases is part of the foundational knowledge for cloud databases discussed in the CompTIA Cloud+ certification.
Question 68

A cloud administrator learns that a major version update. 4.6.0. is available for a business-critical application. The application is currently on version 4.5.2. with additional minor versions 3, 4, and 5 available. The administrator needs to perform the update while minimizing downtime. Which of the following should the administrator do first?
The first step the administrator should take is to create a test environment and apply the major update there. This allows for testing the new version without impacting the production environment, thus minimizing downtime and the potential for unexpected issues.
Reference: Creating test environments and conducting thorough testing before applying updates in production is a risk mitigation strategy covered under cloud deployment and operations in the CompTIA Cloud+ certification.
Question 69

A software engineer at a cybersecurity company wants to access the cloud environment. Per company policy, the cloud environment should not be directly accessible via the internet. Which of the following options best describes how the software engineer can access the cloud resources?
A bastion host is the best option described for accessing cloud resources without direct internet access. It acts as a secure gateway to access internal networks from external sources and is often used in conjunction with other security measures such as SSH for secure connections.
Reference: The use of bastion hosts as a secure access point to cloud resources is a security best practice covered in the CompTIA Cloud+ certification's domain on cloud security.
Question 70

A company requests that its cloud administrator provision virtual desktops for every user. Given the following information:
* One hundred users are at the company.
* A maximum of 30 users work at the same time.
* Users cannot be interrupted while working on the desktop.
Which of the following strategies will reduce costs the most?
Setting up the VMs to turn off outside of business hours at night will reduce costs the most, especially since a maximum of 30 users work at the same time and users cannot be interrupted while working. This approach ensures that resources are used only when necessary.
Reference: Cost management and efficient resource utilization strategies like scheduling VMs to turn off during idle times are discussed within the financial management aspects of cloud services in the CompTIA Cloud+ exam objectives.
