CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) — Question 51

A cloud administrator is working on the deployment of an e-commerce website. The administrator evaluates the scaling methods to be implemented when seasonal or flash sales are launched. Which of the following scaling approaches should the administrator use to best manage this scenario?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The scheduled scaling approach is ideal for managing predictable traffic surges during seasonal events like sales, allowing the administrator to preemptively allocate resources. Load scaling reacts to current demand, which may not be sufficient for anticipated surges. Event scaling is useful for responding to specific triggers, but may not provide the proactive management needed for known sales events. Trending scaling analyzes past data to predict future needs, but it may not be timely enough for immediate seasonal demands.
