CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 36

A systems administrator is troubleshooting network throughput issues following a deployment. The network is currently being overwhelmed by the amount of traffic between the database and the web servers in the environment. Which of the following should the administrator do to resolve this issue?

Answer options

• A. Set up affinity rules to keep web and database servers on the same hypervisor.
• B. Enable jumbo frames on the gateway.
• C. Move the web and database servers onto the same VXLAN.
• D. Move the servers onto thick-provisioned storage.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because setting up affinity rules helps to reduce latency and improve throughput by keeping related servers close together on the same hypervisor. Options B and C could potentially improve performance but do not directly address the issue of traffic overload between web and database servers. Option D is unrelated to network traffic management and focuses on storage provisioning.
