CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 33

A cloud administrator has finished building a virtual server template in a public cloud environment. The administrator is now cloning six servers from that template.
Each server is configured with one private IP address and one public IP address. After starting the server instances, the cloud administrator notices that two of the servers do not have a public IP address. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

Answer options

• A. The maximum number of public IP addresses has already been reached.
• B. The two servers are not attached to the correct public subnet.
• C. There is no Internet gateway configured in the cloud environment.
• D. The two servers do not have enough virtual network adapters attached.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because if the servers do not have enough virtual network adapters, they may not be able to connect to the network that provides public IP addresses. Option A is incorrect as it assumes a limit has been reached without evidence. Option B is also wrong as the issue is not related to subnet attachment if the other servers are functioning. Option C is not applicable because the presence of an Internet gateway does not directly affect the assignment of public IPs to the servers.
