CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 145

A cloud application has been in production for six months without any issues. Shortly after increasing the number of users assigned to the application, however, users start reporting errors. The administrator does not see any resource thresholds being exceeded in the cloud dashboard. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the errors?

Answer options

• A. Failed autoscaling
• B. IP address limitations
• C. License exhaustion
• D. Bandwidth saturation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The most likely cause of the errors is bandwidth saturation, as a sudden increase in users can lead to network congestion, even if resource thresholds aren't exceeded. Failed autoscaling, IP address limitations, and license exhaustion are less probable in this scenario since they would typically present different symptoms or errors.
