An organization needs to retain its data for compliance reasons but only when required. Which of the following would be the most cost-effective type of tiered storage?
Correct Answer:C
Archive storage is the most cost-effective type of tiered storage for retaining data that is infrequently accessed and only when required for compliance reasons. It is designed for long-term storage and offers lower storage costs compared to hot, cold, or warm storage tiers.References: Understanding data storage and the various tiers, including archival storage, is part of cloud storage strategies covered in the CompTIA Cloud+ certification.
A company is developing a new web application that requires a relational database management system with minimal operational overhead. Which of the following should the company choose?
Correct Answer:B
For a new web application that requires a relational database management system with minimal operational overhead, the company should choose a managed SQL database on the cloud. Managed databases provide automated backups, patching, and other management tasks, reducing the administrative burden.References: The use of managed services, like managed databases, to minimize operational overhead is a strategic decision in cloud computing covered in CompTIA Cloud+.
Users report being unable to access an application that uses TLS 1.1. The users are able to access other applications on the internet. Which of the following is the most likely reason for this issue?
Correct Answer:B
If users are unable to access an application that uses TLS 1.1 but can access other internet applications, it is likely that changes were made on the web server to address vulnerabilities, such as disabling outdated and less secure protocols like TLS 1.1.

Which of the following describes the main difference between public and private container repositories?
Correct Answer:A
The main difference between public and private container repositories lies in access control. Public repositories allow users to download and use container images without requiring any authorization, making them accessible to anyone. On the other hand, private repositories require users to have proper authorization, usually through credentials, to access the container images, thus providing a level of privacy and security control.

A company has one cloud-based web server that is prone to downtime during maintenance. Which ot the following should the cloud engineer add to ensure high availability?
Correct Answer:A
Adding a redundant web server behind a load balancer is the solution that will ensure high availability. If one server goes down for maintenance, the other can take over, ensuring that the web service remains available without interruption.References: High availability concepts, including the use of load balancers and redundant servers, are part of cloud infrastructure design as per CompTIA Cloud+.
A cloud engineer is deploying a cloud solution that will be used on premises with need-to- know access. Which of the following cloud deployment models best meets this requirement?
Correct Answer:C
A private cloud deployment model is the most appropriate when the requirement is for 'need-to-know' access, as it offers a more secure environment with resources dedicated to a single organization. It can be hosted on-premises or off-premises but is maintained on a private network, ensuring greater control over the data, security, and compliance when compared to other cloud models.
