CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) — Question 38

A company is developing a new web application that requires a relational database management system with minimal operational overhead. Which of the following should the company choose?

Answer options

• A. A database installed on a virtual machine
• B. A managed SQL database on the cloud
• C. A database migration service
• D. A hybrid database setup

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is B, as a managed SQL database on the cloud offers automatic updates, backups, and scaling, significantly reducing operational overhead. Option A involves more manual management, option C is focused on migrating existing databases rather than providing a new system, and option D introduces complexity with hybrid setups that typically require more maintenance.
