CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 313

A cloud engineer, who manages workloads in a public cloud environment, uses autoscaling to maintain availability of a critical application. During a recent burst in demands, the engineer received the following error alert:

LimitedInstanceCapacity -

Which of the following is MOST likely cause of the error?

Answer options

• A. The cloud account has a misconfigured security group.
• B. The cloud account has exhausted the number of instances quota.
• C. The cloud account has had rights revoked to create instances.
• D. The autoscaling feature does not have permissions to create instances.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the LimitedInstanceCapacity error indicates that the account has reached its quota for the number of instances it can run, preventing any further instances from being launched. Options A, C, and D could cause other issues, but they would not specifically lead to the LimitedInstanceCapacity error.
