CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 75

A new service request asks for all members of the finance department to have access to the accounting department's file server VMs on the private cloud environment.
Which of the following is the MOST efficient way to fulfill this service request?

Answer options

• A. Set up duplicate file server VMs that the finance department has access to and enable two-way replication.
• B. Add all users of the finance department to the accounting departments file server VMs access lists.
• C. Implement a single sign-on and two-factor authentication solution using a soft token.
• D. Create a new group for the finance department that will allow access to the accounting department's file server VMs.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because setting up duplicate file server VMs with two-way replication allows seamless access for the finance department without compromising the accounting department's server. Option B is less efficient as it requires modifying access lists, which can be cumbersome to manage. Option C does not directly address the access requirement, and option D, while useful, may complicate access management compared to the direct approach of replication in A.
