CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 131

Of ten newly deployed VMs from a single template, the cloud administrator notices one VM has direct root access enabled and automatic configuration control disabled. These settings do not comply with the company's policies for production VMs. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of this situation?

Answer options

• A. Another administrator intentionally changed the settings.
• B. The template is misconfigured.
• C. There is provisioning workflow breakdown.
• D. There is a bug in the current hypervisor version.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The most likely reason for the non-compliant settings on the VM is that the template itself is misconfigured, leading to the unintended settings being applied. Other options, such as intentional changes by another administrator or provisioning workflow issues, are less likely as they would affect all VMs rather than just one.
