A Windows administrator needs to manage a cloud-based Windows Server VM from their home office. The VM has a public IP address, and the administrator wants to use a graphical interface to perform routine maintenance. Which protocol should the administrator use?

Secure Shell (SSH) on TCP port 22.

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) on TCP port 3389.

A site-to-site VPN with RDP inside the tunnel.

A financial services company runs a critical database in a public cloud region. The compliance team requires a private, consistent network path that does not traverse the public internet, and the database must handle predictable high-volume traffic from an on-premises application. Which solution should the network architect implement?

Deploy a cloud load balancer in front of the database to distribute traffic from the on-premises application.

Establish an AWS Direct Connect or Azure ExpressRoute connection between the on-premises data center and the cloud region.

Configure a site-to-site VPN over the public internet with IPsec encryption.

Open the database port in the cloud firewall to allow traffic from the on-premises application's public IP address.

A company runs a mission-critical web application on multiple cloud VMs. The application must be highly available and handle sudden spikes in traffic. The current setup uses a single load balancer. Which improvement would best enhance availability and scalability?

Add more firewall rules to allow more traffic.

Use a single, larger load balancer instance.

Deploy the load balancer in an active-passive configuration across multiple availability zones.

Increase the size of the VMs running the application.
