CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 138

A cloud administrator is deploying a memory-intensive, three-tier web application with a database back end to one server in an IaaS cloud platform. The minimum application memory requirements are as follows:
✑ RAM for Web Service Role: 1024MB
✑ RAM for Application Service Role: 2048MB
✑ RAM for Database Service Role: 4192MB
Configuration requirements state that web content should be separated from the operating system on another drive. Given this scenario, which of the following is the minimum amount of RAM required in GB and what is the most optimal logical volume design to BEST meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. 5GB
• B. 6 GB
• C. 7GB
• D. C:\Drive: OS, Web Service Role, Application Service Role, Database Service Role
• E. C:\Drive: OS G:\Drive: Web Service Role, Application Service Role, Database Service Role
• F. C:\ Drive: OS, Web Service Role G:\Drive: Application Service Role, Database Service Role

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The minimum RAM required is 6GB, calculated by adding the memory requirements: 1024MB + 2048MB + 4192MB = 7264MB, which converts to approximately 6GB. The optimal logical volume design is option E, which separates the web content onto a different drive (G:), ensuring that the operating system (C:) is distinct from the application roles. Options D and F do not meet the requirement of separating the web content from the OS.
