CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 39

An IaaS provider has numerous devices and services that are commissioned and decommissioned automatically on an ongoing basis. The cloud administrator needs to implement a solution that will help reduce administrative overhead. Which of the following will accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. IPAM
• B. NAC
• C. NTP
• D. DNS

Correct answer: A

Explanation

IPAM (IP Address Management) is designed to automate the management of IP address allocation, which reduces the need for manual oversight in environments with frequent changes. NAC (Network Access Control), NTP (Network Time Protocol), and DNS (Domain Name System) do not provide the same level of automation for managing IP addresses, thus they are not suitable for reducing administrative overhead in this context.
