A corporate jump server located in the public cloud was terminated overnight because the underlying hardware failed. The next morning, developers were unable to reach environments. Which of the follow

A load balancer distributes traffic across multiple servers but cannot route to a jump server that no longer exists.

Provisioning a new jump server via the cloud console directly restores the access path that developers require. Cloud consoles allow on-demand instance creation with the same networking, security groups, and access controls as the original. This is the fastest remediation because it addresses the root cause - the absence of the jump server itself.

Having developers use their laptops bypasses established security controls and does not restore the intended secure access architecture.

Configuring autoscaling with a minimum of one instance prevents future recurrence but does not immediately restore access to the already-terminated server.
