CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 303

A systems administrator is deploying a new cloud application and needs to provision cloud services with minimal effort. The administrator wants to reduce the tasks required for maintenance, such as OS patching, VM and volume provisioning, and autoscaling configurations. Which of the following would be the BEST option to deploy the new application?

Answer options

• A. A VM cluster
• B. Containers
• C. OS templates
• D. Serverless

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Serverless, as it allows developers to focus on writing code without worrying about server management, including maintenance tasks. A VM cluster (A) requires more management and maintenance, while Containers (B) still need some orchestration and management. OS templates (C) simplify VM creation but do not eliminate maintenance tasks, making them less optimal for the scenario.
