CV0-003 Exam Dumps - CompTIA Cloud+ Questions and Answers

The best way to prevent two virtual database servers from being on the same host is to configure anti-affinity. Anti-affinity is a feature that allows specifying which VMs or applications should not run on the same host or cluster. This can improve availability, performance, and security by avoiding resource contention, single point of failure, or interference between VMs or applications. The systems administrator should create an anti-affinity rule or policy for the two virtual database servers to ensure they are placed on different hosts. Reference: CompTIA Cloud+ Certification Exam Objectives, Domain 1.0 Configuration and Deployment, Objective 1.2 Given a scenario involving requirements for deploying an application in the cloud, select an appropriate solution design.

Playbook and templates are two things that must be used to deploy a cloud solution to its provider using automation techniques. A playbook is a file or script that defines a set of tasks or actions to be executed on one or more cloud resources or systems. A playbook can automate and standardize the deployment and configuration of cloud solutions using tools such as Ansible, Chef, Puppet, etc. A template is a preconfigured image or blueprint of a cloud resource or system that contains an OS, applications, settings, etc., that can be used to create new resources or systems quickly and consistently. A template can simplify and speed up the deployment of cloud solutions using tools such as AWS CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager, Google Cloud Deployment Manager, etc.

A network security group is a service that allows the cloud administrator to filter and control the network traffic between different resources in a cloud environment. A network security group contains security rules that specify the source, destination, protocol, port, and direction of the traffic, and whether to allow or deny it. A network security group can be associated with a subnet or a network interface in a virtual machine, and it can apply to inbound or outbound traffic. A network security group would be the best way to achieve the objective of controlling the connections between a group of web servers and database servers as part of the financial application security review, as it can provide granular and flexible control over the network access and security of the servers.

The best way to restrict access to a set of sensitive files to a specific group of users is to change the file permissions and ownership of the files. File permissions and ownership are attributes that determine who can read, write, execute, or modify the files. By changing the file permissions and ownership, the systems administrator can grant or deny access to the files based on the user identity or group membership. Reference: CompTIA Cloud+ Certification Exam Objectives, Domain 2.0 Security, Objective 2.3 Given a scenario, implement appropriate access control measures for a cloud environment.

Deprecated features are features that are no longer supported or recommended by the software vendor or provider. They may be removed or replaced by newer features in future updates or versions. If a playbook relies on deprecated features, it may stop functioning after an update or patch is applied to the software. The administrator should check the release notes or documentation of the software to identify and replace any deprecated features in the playbook.

The best solution to simplify management of a more complex DNS and DHCP environment for a company that has grown over the last couple of years is IPAM (IP address management). IPAM is a tool or service that allows centralized management and automation of DNS and DHCP functions, such as IP address allocation, reservation, release, or renewal, as well as domain name registration or resolution. IPAM can also provide monitoring, auditing, reporting, and security features for DNS and DHCP resources. Reference: [CompTIA Cloud+ Certification Exam Objectives], Domain 3.0 Maintenance, Objective 3.4 Given a scenario, implement automation and orchestration to optimize cloud operations.

SR-IOV (Single Root Input/Output Virtualization) is what would best satisfy the requirements of low-latency, near-native performance of a physical NIC and data protection between VMs for multiple network I/O-intensive VMs. SR-IOV is a technology that allows a physical NIC to be partitioned into multiple virtual NICs that can be assigned to different VMs. SR-IOV can provide the following benefits:

Low-latency: SR-IOV can reduce latency by bypassing the hypervisor and allowing direct communication between the VMs and the physical NIC, without any overhead or interference.

Near-native performance: SR-IOV can provide near-native performance by allowing the VMs to use the full capacity and functionality of the physical NIC, without any emulation or translation.

Data protection: SR-IOV can provide data protection by isolating and securing the network traffic between the VMs and the physical NIC, without any exposure or leakage.

 Deploying web servers into an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) provider is the most suitable method to achieve the objective of hosting an external website and managing the OS. IaaS is a cloud service model that provides basic computing resources such as servers, storage, network, etc., to the customers. The customers have full control and flexibility over these resources and can install and configure any software they need on them. IaaS is suitable for hosting web servers and managing the OS, as it allows the customers to choose their preferred OS, web server software, settings, etc., and customize them according to their needs.

Checking the logs on the VM is the next step that the administrator should take if the cloud SQL database has stopped running after an update deployment. Logs are records of events and activities that occur on a system or application. Logs can provide useful information for troubleshooting and identifying the root cause of an issue. The administrator should look for any errors, warnings, or messages that indicate what happened to the SQL database service and why it stopped running.
