CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 342

An organization has deployed a cloud-based application that provides virtual event services globally to clients. During a typical event, thousands of users access various entry pages within a short period of time. The entry pages include sponsor-related content that is relatively static and is pulled from a database. When the first major event occurs, users report poor response time on the entry pages. Which of the following features is the most appropriate for the company to implement?

Answer options

• A. Horizontal scalability
• B. Vertical scalability
• C. Containerization
• D. Static code analysis
• E. Caching

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E, Caching, as it stores frequently accessed data temporarily to improve response times, which is vital when many users access static content simultaneously. Horizontal scalability (A) and vertical scalability (B) are more about increasing resources rather than optimizing data retrieval. Containerization (C) relates to packaging applications, and static code analysis (D) focuses on code quality, neither of which directly address the performance issue described.
