CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 123

A production IaaS database server contains PCI data and is a critical business capability. The CAB approved a normal code change release for QA and PROD to occur 30 minutes apart and to last a maximum of one hour. The cloud DBA team is 45 minutes behind schedule, so they miss the start time on QA. As the cloud
DBA, which of the following is the BEST course of action to apply the code change?

Answer options

• A. Skip QA and apply the code change to PROD to meet time requirements
• B. Resubmit another change request for another time for approval
• C. Submit an emergency CAB approval to change the time to after business hours
• D. Change the time in the CAB request and apply the code change at a more convenient time

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The best option is C, as obtaining emergency CAB approval to apply the change after business hours ensures compliance with procedures while still addressing the urgent needs of the production environment. Options A and D bypass essential QA processes, risking system integrity, and B delays the necessary updates without addressing the immediate situation.
