CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 38

A cloud administrator is building a new VM for a network security appliance. The security appliance installer says the CPU clock speed does not meet the requirements. Which of the following will MOST likely solve the issue?

Answer options

• A. Move the VM to a host with a faster CPU.
• B. Add more vCPUs to the VM.
• C. Enable CPU masking on the VM.
• D. Enable hyperthreading on the virtual host.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because moving the VM to a host with a faster CPU directly addresses the clock speed requirement of the security appliance. Adding more vCPUs (B) does not increase the clock speed, and CPU masking (C) and hyperthreading (D) do not fundamentally change the CPU's clock speed either.
