CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) — Question 22

A cloud administrator needs to collect process-level, memory-usage tracking for the virtual machines that are part of an autoscaling group. Which of the following is the best way to accomplish the goal by using cloud-native monitoring services?

Answer options

• A. Configuring page file/swap metrics
• B. Deploying the cloud-monitoring agent software
• C. Scheduling a script to collect the data
• D. Enabling memory monitoring in the VM configuration

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because deploying the cloud-monitoring agent software provides comprehensive insights and analytics about memory usage and processes in real-time. Options A and D are limited to specific memory metrics and do not offer the detailed tracking needed. Option C relies on manual scripting, which is less efficient and may not provide continuous monitoring.
