Palo Alto Networks Certified Security Automation Engineer (PCSAE) — Question 14

Which configuration is a valid distributed database (DB) implementation?

Answer options

• A. 2 main DBs, 1 application server, 2 node servers
• B. 1 main DB, 1 application server, 3 node servers
• C. 2 application servers, 1 main DB, 1 node server
• D. 1 application server, 2 main DBs, 1 node server

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a valid distributed database requires multiple node servers to handle the distribution of data effectively. Option A has too few node servers, while option C has an insufficient number of node servers and too many application servers. Option D also fails due to having only one node server, which does not support a proper distributed architecture.
