CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 285

A systems administrator is working in a globally distributed cloud environment. After a file server VM was moved to another region, all users began reporting slowness when saving files. Which of the following is the FIRST thing the administrator should check while troubleshooting?

Answer options

• A. Network latency
• B. Network connectivity
• C. Network switch
• D. Network peering

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The first step in troubleshooting performance issues after moving resources is to assess network latency, as this can heavily impact file transfer speeds. While network connectivity is also important, it is more about whether a connection exists, not how fast it is. The network switch and peering are less likely to be the immediate cause of slowness compared to latency.
