CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 125

A cloud administrator reports a problem with the maximum number of users reached in one of the pools. There are ten VMs in the pool, each with a software capacity to handle ten users. Based on the dashboard metrics, 15% of the incoming new service requests are failing. Which of the following is the BEST approach to resolve the issue?

Answer options

• A. Check compute, storage, and networking utilization in the dashboard and increase capacity by adding more resources.
• B. Check current licensed capacity and purchase additional licenses to add more users.
• C. Check the DHCP scope and increase the number of available IP addresses by extending the pool.
• D. Check the rate-of-load increase to determine if the cloud capacity boundary has been exceeded and enable bursting to the pubic cloud.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because checking utilization metrics and adding more resources directly addresses the capacity issue affecting user connections. Option B is not suitable since the current infrastructure has reached its limit, and merely purchasing more licenses won't help without additional resources. Option C is irrelevant as the issue pertains to VM capacity, not IP address allocation. Option D, while addressing load, does not directly resolve the existing capacity shortfall in the pool.
