CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 83

Users at a university are experiencing slow response and performance issues with private cloud services. The university was compromised, and a loss of bandwidth utilization was reported.
Without deploying new software, which of the following should be performed to determine the cause of the issues?

Answer options

• A. Send all logs for all cloud components to an event and incident management system for correlation and review.
• B. Locate all load balancers in the cloud and replace them with the latest version of content delivery controllers.
• C. Install sniffing tools, catalog the type of traffic, and capture all traffic to and from the target systems.
• D. Implement and update an antivirus solution to the cloud infrastructure to detect potential threats.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, suggests using sniffing tools to analyze traffic, which is essential for identifying the types of issues affecting performance. Options A and D focus on logging and antivirus solutions, which may not directly identify bandwidth issues. Option B involves replacing load balancers, which may not address the underlying traffic problems without proper analysis first.
