Question

A company is migrating some of its consumer-facing services to a cloud provider. The company has been getting more customers since its competitors have gone bankrupt. Which of the following actions would BEST meet the company's increased resource needs?

Options

  • AIncrease the company's network bandwidth to 10Gbps.
  • BInstall additional load balancers.
  • CDeploy additional web servers to the cloud.
  • DDeploy a local database within the company's datacenter.

Why each option

As consumer-facing services migrated to the cloud experience increased customer demand, the most effective action to meet these increased resource needs is to deploy additional load balancers. This distributes incoming traffic efficiently across backend resources.

AIncrease the company's network bandwidth to 10Gbps.

Increasing network bandwidth provides more data transfer capacity but does not inherently solve the problem of distributing increased application-level requests effectively across backend servers if load balancing remains a bottleneck.

BInstall additional load balancers.Correct

Increased customer load means a higher volume of incoming requests. Deploying additional load balancers enhances the system's capacity to distribute this traffic across multiple backend servers or services, ensuring efficient resource utilization, improving responsiveness, and maintaining high availability for the consumer-facing services.

CDeploy additional web servers to the cloud.

Deploying additional web servers increases backend processing power, but without adequate load balancing, these new servers may not receive optimal traffic, and the existing load balancer could become a single point of congestion.

DDeploy a local database within the company's datacenter.

Deploying a local database within the company's datacenter for cloud services would introduce latency, reduce scalability, and counteract the benefits of cloud deployment for a consumer-facing application.
