CompTIA DataX (CNX-001) — Question 69

A global company has depots in various locations. A proprietary application was deployed locally at each of the depots, but issues with getting the consolidated data instantly occurred. The Chief Information Officer decided to centralize the application and deploy it in the cloud. After the cloud deployment, users report the application is slow. Which of the following is most likely the issue?

Answer options

• A. Throttling
• B. Overutilization
• C. Packet loss
• D. Latency

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as latency refers to the delay in data transmission over the network, which can significantly slow down cloud applications. While throttling, overutilization, and packet loss can also impact performance, latency is the most common issue associated with cloud deployments when users are accessing applications over the internet.
