CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 393

A security review of the architecture for an application migration was recently completed. The following observations were made:

• External inbound access is blocked.
• A large amount of storage is available.
• Memory and CPU usage are low.
• The load balancer has only a single server assigned.
• Multiple APIs are integrated.

Which of the following needs to be addressed?

Answer options

• A. Scalability
• B. Automation
• C. Availability
• D. Performance

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as having only a single server assigned to the load balancer indicates a potential single point of failure, compromising availability. While scalability, automation, and performance could be considered, they are not as immediately critical given the current architecture's constraints on server availability.
