CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 62

A university is running a DNA decoding project that will take seven years if it runs on its current internal mainframe. The university negotiated a deal with a large cloud provider, which will donate its cloud resource to process the DNA decoding during the low peak time throughout the world. Which of the following is the
MOST important resource the university should ask the cloud provider to donate?

Answer options

• A. A large storage for the DNA decoding results
• B. A larger pipe to transfer the results
• C. A closer datacenter to the university
• D. Any available compute resource

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as having a closer datacenter can significantly reduce latency and improve processing speed for the DNA decoding project. Options A and B focus more on storage and bandwidth, which are important but secondary to the geographical proximity of computational resources. Option D, while it suggests obtaining any compute resource, does not prioritize the benefit of closeness, which can greatly enhance performance.
