CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 129

An automation performs the following on a monthly basis:
- Disable accounts that have not logged on in the last 60 days
- Remove firewall rules with zero hits in the last 30 days
- Remove DNS entries that have not been updated in the last 60 days
- Archive all logs that are more than 30 days old
Six weeks after this new automation is implemented, an internal client reports that quarterly replication failover testing has failed.
Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the failed test?

Answer options

• A. Disabling accounts
• B. Removing firewall rules
• C. Removing DNS entries
• D. Archiving logs

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as removing firewall rules that have not been hit in the last 30 days could lead to necessary traffic being blocked, causing the replication failover testing to fail. Disabling accounts (A), removing DNS entries (C), and archiving logs (D) are less likely to directly impact the replication process compared to the network connectivity issues that could arise from firewall rule removal.
