CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) — Question 53

An engineer has had scaling issues with a web application hosted on premises and would like to move to a serverless architecture. Which of the following cloud benefits would be best to utilize for this project?

Answer options

• A. Cost savings for hosting
• B. Automation of resource provisioning
• C. Providing geo-redundant hosting
• D. Eliminating need to patch

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as automation of resource provisioning allows for dynamic scaling based on demand, which is essential in serverless architectures. While cost savings (A) and geo-redundancy (C) are advantages of cloud computing, they do not directly address the scalability issues. Eliminating the need to patch (D) is also beneficial, but it does not specifically resolve scaling challenges.
