When migrating an on-premises database to DBaaS, it is important to consider the database application version compatibility, the database IOPS values, and the database storage utilization. These factors can affect the performance, functionality, and cost of the migration. Database application version compatibility refers to the ability of the DBaaS provider to support the same or compatible version of the database software as the on-premises database. This can ensure that the database features, syntax, and behavior are consistent and compatible across the environments. Database IOPS values refer to the input/output operations per second that the database performs. This can indicate the workload and throughput of the database, and help determine the appropriate size and configuration of the DBaaS instance. Database storage utilization refers to the amount of disk space that the database consumes. This can affect the cost and scalability of the DBaaS service, and help optimize the storage allocation and backup strategies. References := CompTIA Cloud+ source documents or study guide

The correct answer is B. Remove rules 1, 3, and 4.

The objective is to ensure the web servers in the public subnet allow only secure communications. This means that only HTTPS traffic should be allowed on port 443, which is the standard port for secure web connections. HTTPS traffic uses the TCP protocol and encrypts the data between the client and the server.

Rule 1 allows all TCP traffic on any port from any source. This is too permissive and exposes the web servers to potential attacks or unauthorized access. Rule 1 should be removed to restrict the TCP traffic to only port 443.

Rule 3 allows all UDP traffic on any port from any source. UDP is a connectionless protocol that does not guarantee reliable or secure delivery of data. UDP is typically used for streaming media, voice over IP (VoIP), or online gaming, but not for web servers. Rule 3 should be removed to prevent unnecessary or malicious UDP traffic.

Rule 4 allows all ICMP traffic from any source. ICMP is a protocol that is used for diagnostic or control purposes, such as ping or traceroute. ICMP traffic can be used by attackers to scan or probe the network for vulnerabilities or information. Rule 4 should be removed to block ICMP traffic and reduce the attack surface.

Rule 2 allows TCP traffic on port 443 from any source. This is the desired rule that allows secure web communications using HTTPS. Rule 2 should be kept.

Rule 5 denies all other traffic that does not match any of the previous rules. This is the default rule that provides a catch-all protection for the web servers. Rule 5 should be kept.

Therefore, the analyst should remove rules 1, 3, and 4 to accomplish the objective.

One possible solution for the cloud administrator is to use object storage. Object storage is a type of cloud storage service that stores data as objects, which consist of data, metadata, and a unique identifier. Object storage can allocate a large number of digital files and images, as it can scale to petabytes of capacity and handle billions of objects. Object storage can also keep files for distributed access, as it can store data across multiple regions and zones, and provide high availability and durability. Object storage can also serve images directly to the user’s browser, as it can generate public URLs for each object that can be accessed over the internet12.

NAS storage, file storage, and block storage are not the best solutions for these requirements, as they have some limitations compared to object storage. NAS storage and file storage store data as files in a hierarchical structure, which can be inefficient for managing a large number of files and images. Block storage stores data as blocks in a fixed structure, which can be wasteful for storing variable-sized files and images. NAS storage, file storage, and block storage also require a file system or a protocol to access the data, which can add complexity and overhead to the system12.

Resource tagging is a process of adding descriptive metadata (tags) to cloud resources, such as virtual machines, storage accounts, databases, etc. Tags can be used to track and allocate costs, identify resources by project, owner, environment, or any other criteria. Resource tagging can help the finance department to have cost allocation transparency across different projects on a shared platform. References: CompTIA Cloud+ Certification Exam Objectives, Domain 4.0: Operations and Support, Objective 4.3: Given a scenario, apply the appropriate methods for cost control in a cloud environment. Cloud Resource Tagging | Cloud Foundation Community, Define your tagging strategy - Cloud Adoption Framework
