A company wants to use a solution that will allow for quick recovery from ransomware attacks, as well as intentional and unintentional attacks on data integrity and availability. Which of the following should the company implement that will minimize administrative overhead?
Correct Answer:
D
Implementing volume snapshots is an effective solution for quick recovery from ransomware attacks and protecting data integrity and availability. Snapshots capture the state of a storage volume at a point in time and can be used to restore data quickly with minimal administrative overhead.References: Data protection strategies like volume snapshots are discussed under cloud data management and protection in the CompTIA Cloud+ objectives.
An DevOps engineer is receiving reports that users can no longer access the company's web application after hardening of a web server. The users are receiving the following error:
ERR_SSLJ/ERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH.
Which of the following actions should the engineer take to resolve the issue?
Correct Answer:
B
To resolve the ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH error after hardening a web server, the engineer should configure the server to use TLS 1.2 or newer. This error often occurs when the server or client supports an outdated version of SSL/TLS or incompatible cipher suites. Updating to a modern, secure version of TLS ensures compatibility and enhances security.References: The CompTIA Cloud+ certification includes governance, risk, compliance, and security for the cloud, emphasizing the importance of implementing up-to-date security protocols like TLS to protect data in transit and ensure secure communications in cloud environments.
A cloud engineer needs to integrate a new payment processor with an existing e- commerce website. Which of the following technologies is the best fit for this integration?
Correct Answer:
C
The best technology for integrating a new payment processor with an existing e-commerce website is a REST API over HTTPS. This method is widely used for web services, allowing secure communication over the internet and a standardized way for applications to communicate with each other.

Which of the following Al/ML technologies consumes text input to discern tone?
Correct Answer:
D
Sentiment analysis is an AI/ML technology that processes text to determine the tone. It helps in understanding the sentiments behind the words by analyzing the text input, which can be positive, negative, or neutral.

A cloud engineer is troubleshooting a connectivity issue. The application server with IP 192.168.1.10 in one subnet is not connecting to the MySQL database server with IP 192.168.2 20 in a different subnet. The cloud engineer reviews the following information: Application Server Stateful Firewall
Which of the following should the cloud engineer address lo fix the communication issue?
Correct Answer:
C
The connectivity issue between the application server and the MySQL database server in different subnets is likely due to the MySQL Server Stateful Firewall's inbound rules. The application server has an IP of 192.168.1.10, but the MySQL server's inbound rules only permit IP 192.168.1.10/32 on port 3306. This rule allows only a single IP address (192.168.1.10) to communicate on port 3306, which is typical for MySQL. However, if the application server's IP is not 192.168.1.10 or the application is trying to communicate on a different port, it would be blocked. To fix the communication issue, the cloud engineer should address the inbound rules on the MySQL Server Stateful Firewall to ensure that the application server??s IP address and therequired port are allowed.References: Based on the information provided in the question and general networking principles.
