TA-002-P · Question #398

How can a ticket-based system slow down infrastructure provisioning and limit the ability to scale? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is B. A request must be submitted for infrastructure changes C. As additional resources are required, more tickets are submitted. Ticket-based systems slow infrastructure provisioning by introducing manual request bottlenecks for each change and by generating a growing volume of tickets as resource demands scale.

Question

How can a ticket-based system slow down infrastructure provisioning and limit the ability to scale? (Choose two.)

Options

  • CAs additional resources are required, more tickets are submitted
  • DA catalog of approved resources can be accessed from drop down lists in a request form

Why each option

Ticket-based systems slow infrastructure provisioning by introducing manual request bottlenecks for each change and by generating a growing volume of tickets as resource demands scale.

AA full audit trail of the request and fulfillment process is generated

Generating a full audit trail is a benefit of ticket-based systems that supports compliance and accountability - it does not slow down or restrict infrastructure provisioning.

BA request must be submitted for infrastructure changesCorrect

Requiring a ticket submission for every infrastructure change introduces human review bottlenecks and approval delays, preventing the on-demand provisioning that modern workloads require.

CAs additional resources are required, more tickets are submittedCorrect

As infrastructure demands grow, the number of tickets scales proportionally, overwhelming the team responsible for fulfillment and creating a compounding backlog that limits the ability to scale quickly.

DA catalog of approved resources can be accessed from drop down lists in a request form

A catalog of approved resources with drop-down selection forms actually speeds up request submission by providing pre-approved options, reducing errors and back-and-forth communication.
