In an active-passive cluster architecture, what is the primary role of the passive node?

To provide load balancing for the active node

To remain idle and take over if the active node fails

To store backups of the active node's data

To actively serve requests in parallel with the active node

Why is session persistence important in a high availability web application cluster?

It allows a user's requests to be consistently handled by the same node

It ensures that all nodes have the same configuration

It speeds up the database queries

It reduces the need for load balancing

Why is monitoring essential in a high availability cluster?

To simplify the cluster configuration

To detect failures early and trigger failover or alerts

To increase the performance of the cluster

What is the typical first step when adding a new node to an existing cluster?

Install and configure the cluster software on the new node

Remove the new node's network connection to avoid conflicts

Reboot all existing nodes to recognize the new node

Immediately assign all services to the new node

An administrator is adding a new node to an existing active-active cluster to increase capacity. The cluster runs a stateless web application. What is the most important step to ensure the new node is fully integrated and can serve traffic without issues?

Copy the application data from one of the existing nodes to the new node to ensure it has the latest state.

Reboot all existing nodes to ensure they recognize the new node's presence.

Add the new node to the cluster configuration and verify that it can communicate with the other nodes and access the shared resources.

Install the same operating system and application version on the new node as on the existing nodes.
