CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 62

An engineer is responsible for configuring a new firewall solution that will be deployed in a new public cloud environment. All traffic must pass through the firewall.
The SLA for the firewall is 99.999%. Which of the following should be deployed?

Answer options

• A. Two load balancers behind a single firewall
• B. Firewalls in a blue-green configuration
• C. Two firewalls in a HA configuration
• D. A web application firewall

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as having two firewalls in a High Availability (HA) configuration ensures redundancy and maximizes uptime, aligning with the 99.999% SLA requirement. Options A and D do not provide the necessary redundancy for the firewall itself, while option B does not specifically address the need for high availability in traffic management.
