CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 71

A systems administrator adds servers to a round-robin, load-balanced pool, and then starts receiving reports of the website being intermittently unavailable. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the issue?

Answer options

• A. The network is being saturated.
• B. The load balancer is being overwhelmed.
• C. New web nodes are not operational.
• D. The API version is incompatible.
• E. There are time synchronization issues.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The most likely cause for the website being intermittently unavailable is that the new web nodes are not operational, leading to insufficient resources to handle requests. The other options, while possible issues, do not directly relate to the addition of new servers causing immediate outages. For instance, network saturation or load balancer overload would typically affect all nodes, not just the new ones.
