CompTIA Cloud+ (CV1-003) — Question 10

A cloud architect is designing the VPCs for a new hybrid cloud deployment. The business requires the following:
✑ High availability
✑ Horizontal auto-scaling
✑ 60 nodes peak capacity per region
✑ Five reserved network IP addresses per subnet
✑ /24 range
Which of the following would BEST meet the above requirements?

Answer options

• A. Create two /25 subnets in different regions
• B. Create three /25 subnets in different regions
• C. Create two /26 subnets in different regions
• D. Create three /26 subnets in different regions
• E. Create two /27 subnets in different regions
• F. Create three /27 subnets in different regions

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because two /26 subnets provide 64 IP addresses each, allowing for 60 nodes with five reserved IP addresses, satisfying the requirements. Options A, B, D, E, and F do not provide sufficient IP addresses per subnet to accommodate the required nodes and reserved addresses.
