CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 181

A development team recently completed testing changes to a company's web-based CMS in the sandbox environment. The cloud administrator deployed these
CMS application changes to the staging environment as part of the next phase in the release life cycle. The deployment was successful, but after deploying the
CMS application, the web page displays an error message stating the application is unavailable. After reviewing the application logs, the administrator sees an error message that the CMS is unable to connect to the database. Which of the following is the BEST action for the cloud administrator to perform to resolve the issue?

Answer options

• A. Modify the deployment script to delete and recreate the database whenever the CMS application is deployed.
• B. Modify the ACL to allow the staging environment to access the database in the sandbox environment.
• C. Modify the CMS application deployment to use the previous version and redeploy the application.
• D. Modify the configuration settings of the CMS application to connect to the database in the current environment.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because modifying the configuration settings will directly address the connectivity issue between the CMS application and the database in the current environment. Option A is incorrect as deleting the database is not a suitable solution without understanding the underlying issue. Option B is not applicable since the errors suggest a configuration issue rather than an access control issue. Option C, while it might temporarily resolve the issue, does not fix the root problem of the database connection.
