A company's disaster recovery plan uses a secondary region with infrastructure that is started only during a failover. The plan has an RTO of 4 hours and an RPO of 1 hour. The network team is testing the plan. What is the most important aspect to validate during the test?

The number of personnel available to execute the failover

The ability to restore data from the last backup within the RPO

The speed of the internet connection to the secondary region

The cost of running the secondary region during the test

A company is planning capacity for a cloud-based application that has unpredictable traffic spikes. The application is stateless and can scale horizontally. The company wants to minimize cost while ensuring that the application can handle sudden spikes without performance degradation. Which capacity planning strategy is most appropriate?

Use predictive auto-scaling based on historical patterns

Provision a large fixed capacity

Use reactive auto-scaling with a low threshold

Use a combination of predictive and reactive auto-scaling

A company runs a latency-sensitive application in a cloud environment. The network team is evaluating monitoring tools. They need to detect micro-bursts of traffic that cause packet loss, but they also want to minimize the cost of monitoring. The application generates a high volume of small packets. Which approach best balances detection capability and cost?

Use packet capture on all traffic

Use a third-party monitoring tool that samples at a low rate

Use flow logs with a high sampling rate

A company runs a multi-tier web application in a public cloud. The network team is reviewing operational risks. They notice that the database tier is in the same subnet as the web tier, and the security group allows all traffic from the web tier to the database. What is the most immediate risk to address?

Insufficient bandwidth for peak traffic

Lateral movement if the web tier is compromised

Single point of failure in the database tier

A company's business continuity plan (BCP) includes a cloud-based virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). The plan requires that employees can access their desktops within 30 minutes of a regional outage. The company has a secondary region with a pre-configured VDI environment. What is the most important test to perform?

Test the network connectivity between the primary and secondary regions

Review the SLA with the VDI provider

Test the backup of user profiles

Failover test to the secondary region and measure the time to access a desktop
