A cloud administrator is troubleshooting a performance issue where users report slow response times from an application hosted in a different region. Which factor is the MOST likely primary cause of the observed latency?

Insufficient CPU capacity on the web server

The use of a content delivery network (CDN)

The application's database being in a different availability zone

Physical distance between the user and the cloud region

What is the PRIMARY purpose of implementing load balancing in a cloud network architecture?

To encrypt all traffic between the client and the backend servers

To distribute incoming traffic across multiple healthy resources

To provide a single, static IP address for clients to connect to

To filter out malicious traffic based on IP address

A network engineer is investigating a packet loss issue between an on-premises data center and a cloud VNet connected via a site-to-site VPN. The engineer runs a packet capture on the on-premises VPN gateway and sees that packets are being sent, but the cloud VPN gateway is not acknowledging them. The engineer also notices that the VPN tunnel is using UDP port 500 and 4500. What is the most likely cause of the packet loss?

The on-premises firewall is blocking UDP port 500.

The VPN tunnel is experiencing a path MTU discovery failure, causing large packets to be dropped.

The cloud VPN gateway is configured with the wrong pre-shared key.

The cloud VPN gateway is overloaded and dropping all packets.
