CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 164

The CSA needs to install a patch on 58 virtual server instances during the Friday evening maintenance window. Which of the following is the MOST efficient way to get the patches installed?

Answer options

• A. Use the patch management tool to automate and orchestrate the patch installation.
• B. Use a security vulnerability scanning tool to apply the patch automatically.
• C. Schedule the patch to install from a remote file server upon server reboot.
• D. Connect the server instances to the Internet to download the patch automatically.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is the best choice because using a patch management tool allows for efficient automation and orchestration of the installation across multiple instances. The other options, while they may help in certain scenarios, do not provide the same level of efficiency and control as a dedicated patch management tool.
