CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 150

A cloud administrator wants to apply patches in an isolated copy of the production virtual server to assess the impact. Which of the following activities would BEST achieve this objective?

Answer options

• A. Clustering
• B. Snapshot
• C. Image backup
• D. Cloning

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Taking a Snapshot of the virtual server allows the administrator to create a point-in-time copy of the server, which can be used to test patches without affecting the production environment. Clustering, image backup, and cloning do not specifically provide the isolated testing environment needed to assess patch impacts as effectively as a Snapshot does.
