CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 542

Which of the following describes the ability of a corporate IT department to expand its cloud-hosted VM environment with minimal effort?

Answer options

• A. Scalability
• B. Load balancing
• C. Multitenancy
• D. Geo-redundancy

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A. Scalability refers to the ability to increase resources in a cloud environment with ease. Load balancing distributes workloads across multiple resources but does not specifically address expansion, while multitenancy refers to multiple users sharing the same resources, and geo-redundancy involves duplicating resources in different locations for reliability.
