CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 300

A cloud provider wants to make sure consumers are utilizing its IaaS platform but prevent them from installing a hypervisor on the server. Which of the following will help the cloud provider secure the environment and limit consumers' activity?

Answer options

• A. Patch management
• B. Hardening
• C. Scaling
• D. Log and event monitoring

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as hardening involves configuring systems to reduce vulnerabilities and limit user capabilities, which aligns with preventing hypervisor installation. Options A, C, and D do not directly address the need to restrict user activities on the server; patch management focuses on updates, scaling involves resource allocation, and log monitoring is about tracking rather than restricting actions.
