A large enterprise is migrating to Splunk Cloud and expects to ingest 5 TB of data per day. They require high availability and the ability to scale as data grows. Which aspect of Splunk Cloud's architecture directly supports this requirement?

Using forwarders to index data locally and send only summaries

Customer-managed load balancers distributing traffic to indexers

Horizontal scaling of indexers and search heads managed by Splunk

Vertical scaling of a single indexer by adding more CPU and memory

In Splunk Cloud, what happens to data after it is received by the indexer?

It is compressed and sent to a cold storage

It is immediately available for search without any processing

It is parsed, indexed, and stored in buckets

It is forwarded to the search head for storage

Which of the following is a security boundary in Splunk Cloud?

The use of plain text data transmission

The use of role-based access control (RBAC)

The use of open network ports for all services

The use of a shared admin account for all users

A security team is configuring Splunk Cloud to receive data from a remote office. They want to ensure that data is encrypted in transit and that only authorized forwarders can send data. Which combination of settings should they use?

Use HTTP on port 80 and rely on network segmentation

Configure the forwarder to use Syslog over UDP

Enable SSL/TLS on the forwarder and use a shared secret for authentication

Use a deployment server to push data to Splunk Cloud

A company expects to double its data ingestion volume over the next year. They want to ensure Splunk Cloud can handle the growth without requiring them to manually provision new servers. Which feature of Splunk Cloud supports this?

Using a heavier forwarder to do more parsing

Upgrading to a larger license to increase indexing capacity

Adding more forwarders to distribute the load

Automatic scaling of indexers and search heads by Splunk Cloud
