CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 60

After deploying multiple copies of database servers, data scrambling is started on them to anonymize user data. A few minutes later, the systems administrator receives multiple complaints regarding the performance of other VMs. CPU and memory have been eliminated as possible bottlenecks. Which of the following should be verified NEXT as a possible bottleneck?

Answer options

• A. Storage array
• B. Database drivers
• C. Hardware load balancer
• D. Internet connection speed

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as database drivers can significantly impact performance during data operations. While the storage array, hardware load balancer, and internet connection speed can also affect performance, they were not the immediate focus after ruling out CPU and memory, making the drivers the next logical point of verification.
