CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-004) — Question 10

A Linux systems administrator needs to provision multiple web servers into separate regional datacenters. The systems architect has instructed the administrator to define the server infrastructure using a specific tool that consumes a text-based file.
Which of the following is the BEST reason to do this?

Answer options

• A. To document the infrastructure so it can be included in the system security plan
• B. To ensure the administrator follows the planning phase of the systems development life cycle
• C. To define the infrastructure so it can be provisioned consistently with minimal manual tasks
• D. To validate user requirements have been met within each regional datacenter for compliance

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because following the planning phase of the systems development life cycle is crucial for systematic project execution. Options A, C, and D, while relevant, do not directly address the importance of adhering to the structured planning phase in the context of provisioning infrastructure.
