Between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on workdays, users report that the sales database is either not accessible, sluggish, or difficult to connect to. A cloud administrator discovers that during the impacted time, all hypervisors are at capacity. However, when 70% of the users are using the same database, those issues are not reported.
Which of the following is the most likely cause?
- Oversubscription
- Resource allocation
- Sizing issues
- Service quotas
Answer(s): A
Explanation:
The most likely cause of accessibility and performance issues during specific times is oversubscription. This happens when more users are trying to access the database than the hypervisors can handle, due to their resources being allocated to more virtual machines or processes than they can efficiently support.
Reference:
Resource management concepts such as avoiding oversubscription are covered under the Management and Technical Operations domain of the CompTIA Cloud+ exam objectives.
