CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) — Question 10

A developer sends multiple requests to a SaaS application in a short amount of time. The developer realizes that the entire server and all other users can no longer send requests to the application. Which of the following best describes the issue?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, API rate limiting, as it specifically addresses the restriction on the number of requests a user can make within a certain timeframe to protect server resources. Option A, Service quotas, generally refers to limits on resource usage but does not directly relate to the timing of requests. Option C, Full outage, indicates a complete failure of the service, which is not the case here. Option D, Regional service availability, pertains to the geographical access of the service rather than request limits.
