CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 55

DDoS attacks are causing an overload on the cluster of cloud servers. A security architect is researching alternatives to make the cloud environment respond to load fluctuation in a cost-effective way. Which of the following options BEST fulfills the architect's requirements?

Answer options

• A. An orchestration solution that can adjust scalability of cloud assets
• B. Use of multipath by adding more connections to cloud storage
• C. Cloud assets replicated on geographically distributed regions
• D. An on-site backup that is displayed and only used when the load increases

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is the best choice as an orchestration solution can dynamically adjust the scalability of cloud resources in response to load changes, providing a cost-effective way to manage fluctuations. Options B and C do not directly address the issue of scaling resources in real-time, while option D involves a backup solution that is not proactive in managing current load demands.
