CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 104

A cloud administrator needs to deploy a security virtual appliance in a private cloud environment, but this appliance will not be part of the standard catalog of items for other users to request. Which of the following is the BEST way to accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. Create an empty VM, import the hard disk of the virtual appliance, and configure the CPU and memory.
• B. Acquire the build scripts from the vendor and recreate the appliance using the baseline templates.
• C. Import the virtual appliance into the environment and deploy it as a VM.
• D. Convert the virtual appliance to a template and deploy a new VM using the template.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because importing the virtual appliance directly allows for immediate deployment without the need for additional configurations or recreations. Options A, B, and D involve extra steps that are unnecessary for deploying a virtual appliance that is already prepared for use, making them less efficient choices for this scenario.
