CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 308

A cloud administrator is troubleshooting a highly available web application running within three containers behind a Layer 7 load balancer with a WAF inspecting all traffic. The application frequently asks the users to log in again even when the session timeout has not been reached. Which of the following should the cloud administrator configure to solve this issue?

Answer options

• A. Firewall outbound rules
• B. Firewall inbound rules
• C. Load balancer certificates
• D. Load balancer stickiness
• E. WAF transaction throttling

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Load balancer stickiness, because enabling stickiness ensures that a user's session is consistently directed to the same container, maintaining session state. The other options do not address session persistence; outbound and inbound rules pertain to traffic control, certificates handle secure connections, and transaction throttling manages request rates rather than session continuity.
