CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) — Question 63

A cloud administrator is reviewing the requirements for a SaaS application and estimates downtime will be very expensive for the organization. Which of the following should the administrator configure to minimize downtime? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Continuous deployment
• B. Right-sizing
• C. Availability zones
• D. Geo-redundancy
• E. Hardening
• F. Backups

Correct answer: D, F

Explanation

Configuring Geo-redundancy (D) ensures that the application remains available even if one location fails, thereby minimizing downtime. Backups (F) provide a way to restore systems quickly in case of failure, further reducing potential downtime. The other options do not directly address minimizing downtime in the same effective way.
