CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) — Question 57

A cloud server needs to automatically allocate more resources during sudden peak times. This allocation does not need to occur in regular intervals. Which of the following scaling approaches should be used?

Answer options

• A. Event
• B. Manual
• C. Trending
• D. Scheduled

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Event, because it allows for resource allocation based on real-time demand spikes. Manual scaling, option B, requires human intervention, which is not suitable for sudden changes. Trending, option C, relies on historical data and patterns, while Scheduled scaling, option D, operates on predetermined times, neither of which can effectively respond to unexpected peak times.
