   What is a key performance benefit of deploying performance standby nodes?

   • AIncreased write throughput by parallelizing writes across nodes
   • BImproved storage durability by replicating data to multiple nodes
   • CLower network bandwidth usage by compressing all traffic
   • DReduced load on the active node by offloading read requests

   Why would a geographically distributed deployment use performance standby nodes?

   • ATo provide automatic failover to the nearest region
   • BTo synchronize secrets across regions using replication
   • CTo allow each region to process write requests independently
   • DTo reduce latency for users in different regions by serving reads locally

   A Vault Enterprise cluster has 3 nodes: one active, one standard standby, and one performance standby. The active node handles all writes and some reads. The standard standby node handles failover. The performance standby node handles most reads. The team wants to further reduce the load on the active node. What is the most effective action?

   • AIncrease the storage backend's performance to reduce the active node's CPU usage.
   • BRoute all read traffic to the standard standby node to balance the load.
   • CConvert the standard standby node to a performance standby node to increase read capacity.
   • DAdd more performance standby nodes and route all read traffic to them.
