CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 134

Server administrators want to configure a cloud solution so that computing memory and processor usage is maximized most efficiently across a number of virtual servers. They also need to avoid potential denial-of-service situations caused by availability. Which of the following should administrators configure to maximize system availability while efficiently utilizing available computing power?

Answer options

• A. Dynamic resource allocation
• B. High availability
• C. Segmentation
• D. Container security

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Dynamic resource allocation allows for the efficient distribution of computing resources across virtual servers, ensuring that memory and processor usage is optimized. While high availability focuses on minimizing downtime, it does not directly address the efficient use of resources, making it less suitable for this scenario. Segmentation and container security are unrelated to the specific goals of maximizing resource utilization and maintaining availability.
