CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 151

A cloud engineer recently used a deployment script template to implement changes on a cloud-hosted web application. The web application communicates with a managed database on the back end. The engineer later notices the web application is no longer receiving data from the managed database. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the issue?

Answer options

• A. Misconfiguration in the user permissions
• B. Misconfiguration in the routing traffic
• C. Misconfiguration in the network ACL
• D. Misconfiguration in the firewall

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as misconfigured user permissions can prevent the web application from accessing the managed database, causing it to not receive data. Options B, C, and D could also lead to connectivity issues, but the most direct cause related to access control is user permissions.
