CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 266

A cloud administrator needs to reduce storage costs. Which of the following would best help the administrator reach that goal?

Answer options

• A. Enabling compression
• B. Implementing deduplication
• C. Using containers
• D. Rightsizing the VMs

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as implementing deduplication removes duplicate copies of data, significantly reducing the amount of storage needed. While enabling compression (A) also helps save space, it does not eliminate duplicate data. Using containers (C) and rightsizing VMs (D) are related to resource management but do not specifically target storage cost reductions.
