CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 227

A web-application company recently released some new marketing promotions without notifying the IT staff. The systems administrator has since been noticing twice the normal traffic consumption every two hours for the last three hours in the container environment. Which of the following should the company implement to accommodate the new traffic?

Answer options

• A. A firewall
• B. Switches
• C. Ballooning
• D. Autoscaling

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Autoscaling, as it allows the infrastructure to automatically adjust resources based on traffic load, ensuring optimal performance without manual intervention. The other options, such as a firewall, switches, and ballooning, do not directly address the need for scaling resources in response to increased traffic demands.
