CompTIA Cloud+ Exam Practice Test

1 / 10

A company needs to ensure that critical data is replicated across regions for disaster recovery purposes. What is the best solution to meet this requirement?

Manually copy data between regions using API scripts

Rely on data snapshots for cross-region backup

Use cloud-native replication services that support cross-region replication

Use data compression techniques before replication

Store data in a single region and rely on high-availability

2 / 10

A company has deployed a microservices-based application on the cloud. Some services are experiencing increased failure rates due to missing dependencies. What is the best strategy to address this issue?

Use a centralized logging solution to identify missing dependencies

Implement a service mesh to better manage inter-service communications

Deploy redundant services to minimize failure risks

Implement auto-scaling for all microservices to handle load spikes

Use cloud storage for service dependency management

3 / 10

A company needs to store sensitive data in the cloud, ensuring data encryption both at rest and in transit. What is the best approach for encryption management?

Use client-side encryption and manage the encryption keys internally

Rely entirely on cloud provider encryption with default keys

Enable file-level encryption within applications for additional control

Use cloud-native encryption services with customer-managed keys

Use only server-side encryption for all data transfers

4 / 10

A company’s cloud database is performing poorly under heavy read-heavy workloads. What is the best performance optimization?

Implement read replicas to offload read traffic

Increase primary database instance size

Use data partitioning and sharding to distribute load

Migrate the database to cloud block storage for faster I/O

Add automatic backups to improve query response times

5 / 10

A company needs to store large amounts of archival data in the cloud for several years. Which cloud storage solution is the most cost-effective for long-term retention?

Use cloud object storage with infrequent access policies

Deploy dedicated on-premises storage for archival data

Use cloud block storage with frequent snapshots

Opt for cloud file storage with automated replication

Use cloud object storage with archival tier or glacier storage

6 / 10

In a multi-tenant cloud environment, an administrator is tasked with ensuring proper access control to prevent cross-tenant access. What is the best strategy to prevent unauthorized access between tenants?

Set up shared IAM roles for all tenants

Create a single network for all tenants to improve efficiency

Use tenant isolation in security groups and virtual networks

Disable logging for inter-tenant traffic to avoid performance degradation

Use single sign-on (SSO) across tenants

7 / 10

A cloud-based load balancer is distributing traffic between several virtual machines (VMs). After an update, it starts to experience higher than usual latency, impacting application performance. What is the best initial troubleshooting step?

Check cloud provider status for known issues affecting the region

Review load balancer configuration and backend VM health

Scale up the number of VMs behind the load balancer

Enable SSL offloading on the load balancer to improve performance

Increase the timeout settings for load balancing algorithms

8 / 10

An organization has deployed a cloud-based application and needs to ensure it meets the requirements of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). What is the best approach to assess the application's compliance with GDPR?

Ensure all user data is stored in on-premises data centers

Perform a gap analysis and implement recommended controls

Use only cloud services located in the organization's home country

Implement real-time data encryption and disable logging

Defer compliance responsibility entirely to the cloud provider

9 / 10

A cloud administrator has created a security group that allows inbound traffic on port 22 for SSH from any source IP. What is the biggest security risk associated with this configuration?

Unauthorized access to resources due to lack of logging

Excessive load on network resources, causing performance issues

Increased chances of data exfiltration from network misconfigurations

Lack of multi-factor authentication (MFA) for SSH access

Potential exposure of cloud resources to brute-force SSH attacks

10 / 10

A company’s cloud monitoring tool is collecting large amounts of performance data from its cloud environment. Due to storage limitations, the company must decide on an appropriate data retention policy. What is the best solution to balance cost and operational effectiveness?

Retain only high-priority logs for 30 days and delete others

Retain all logs indefinitely for compliance reasons

Retain logs for a limited period based on business and compliance needs

Implement a data archiving policy to store logs on cheaper storage

Retain logs for one week and perform weekly purges
