CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 327
A cloud engineer is responsible for managing two cloud environments from different MSPs. The security department would like to inspect all traffic from the two cloud environments. Which of the following network topology solutions should the cloud engineer implement to reduce long-term maintenance?
Answer options
- A. Chain
- B. Star
- C. Mesh
- D. Hub and spoke
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The Hub and spoke topology is ideal for this scenario as it allows for centralized management and monitoring of traffic, making it easier to maintain over time. In contrast, the chain and mesh topologies can complicate management due to the interconnections and potential for increased overhead, while the star topology may not efficiently handle the traffic inspection needs from both environments.
