CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 169

A company has developed a cloud-ready application. Before deployment, an administrator needs to select a deployment technology that provides a high level of portability and is lightweight in terms of footprint and resource requirements. Which of the following solutions will be BEST to help the administrator achieve the requirements?

Answer options

• A. Containers
• B. Infrastructure as a code
• C. Desktop virtualization
• D. Virtual machines

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Containers are ideal for this scenario as they offer a high level of portability and have a smaller footprint compared to other options. Infrastructure as a code, desktop virtualization, and virtual machines do not provide the same lightweight characteristics and portability that containers do, making them less suitable for cloud-ready applications.
