CV0-003 Exam Dumps - CompTIA Cloud+ Certification Exam

The best method to maintain data confidentiality after discovering that the servers have been compromised and sensitive files have been exfiltrated is encryption. Encryption is a process that transforms data into an unreadable format using an algorithm and a key. Encryption can protect data at rest, in transit, or in use from unauthorized access, tampering, or leakage. The systems administrator should encrypt the sensitive files and their backups using strong encryption algorithms and keys, and also encrypt the network traffic using protocols such as SSL or IPSec.

Detailed Explanation:

C. Revoke the misconfigured permission policy: Reverting the incorrect policy ensures no further public access.

E. Change the affected credentials: If credentials were exposed, they must be updated to prevent unauthorized use.

The correct answer is A. per gigabyte.

A cost model for a DBaaS is a way of determining how much the user pays for the database service. Different cost models may have different pricing factors, such as storage usage, data transfer, compute resources, and additional services.

A per gigabyte cost model is best for a cloud solution because it allows the user to pay only for the amount of storage space they use for their database. This way, the user can scale up or down their storage needs as per their requirements and budget. A per gigabyte cost model also reflects the actual cost of the infrastructure, software licenses, and maintenance that the service provider incurs to host and operate the database1.

A per seat cost model is not suitable for a cloud solution because it charges the user based on the number of seats or licenses they purchase for the database service. This means that the user may end up paying for more seats than they actually use, or not have enough seats to accommodate their users. A per seat cost model also does not account for the storage usage or performance of the database.

A per user cost model is also not suitable for a cloud solution because it charges the user based on the number of users who access the database service. This means that the user may have to pay more if they have a large number of users, or less if they have a small number of users. A per user cost model also does not account for the storage usage or performance of the database.

A per device cost model is also not suitable for a cloud solution because it charges the user based on the number of devices that connect to the database service. This means that the user may have to pay more if they have multiple devices per user, or less if they have one device per user. A per device cost model also does not account for the storage usage or performance of the database.

A deployment template is a file that defines the resources and configurations that are required to deploy a cloud solution1. A deployment template can be used to automate the deployment of cloud infrastructure for clients, ensuring consistency and efficiency2. However, if the deployment template was modified, either intentionally or accidentally, it could cause discrepancies from the baseline in the configuration of infrastructure that was deployed to a new client. For example, the template could have different parameters, values, or dependencies that affect the outcome of the deployment3. Therefore, the most likely cause of the issue is that the deployment template was modified.

A tabletop exercise is the best option for discussion of what individuals should do in an incident response or disaster recovery scenario. A tabletop exercise is a simulated scenario that involves key stakeholders and decision-makers who review and discuss their roles and responsibilities in response to an emergency situation or event. A tabletop exercise can help to test and evaluate plans, procedures, policies, training, and communication.

LTS (Long Term Support) is the update branch that the administrator should choose to ensure the system receives updates that are maintained for at least four years. An update branch is a category or group of updates that have different characteristics or features, such as frequency, stability, duration, etc. An update branch can help customers to choose the type of updates that suit their needs and preferences. LTS is an update branch that provides updates that are stable, reliable, and secure, and are supported for a long period of time, usually four years or more. LTS can help customers who value stability and security over new features or functions, and who do not want to change or upgrade their systems frequently.

Volume-based licensing is a pricing model that charges the customers based on the amount of usage or consumption of a software product or service. The more the customers use the software, the higher the costs will be. This model is suitable for applications that have variable or seasonal demand patterns. Examples of volume-based licensing are AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Run, etc.

IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) is what would best meet the requirement of moving an environment from on premises to the cloud without vendor lock-in. Vendor lock-in is a situation where customers become dependent on or tied to a specific vendor or provider for their products or services, and face difficulties
