A cloud administrator finds that an application deployed via an Infrastructure as Code template is not connecting to a database server. The security settings and network configuration of the server are correct. During deployment, inputs for the template are predefined with no apparent errors. Which of the following should the administrator examine FIRST to resolve this issue?
Update the version of the orchestration tool used for deployment
Change the script execution policy in the cloud environment
Review the database connection string in the template
Increase the CPU and memory allocation for the application
The correct answer is 'Review the database connection string in the template' because a common misconfiguration in templates is the incorrect specification of resource identifiers or connection strings. Ensuring the connection string is accurate is essential for the application to communicate with the database. Checking the CPU and memory allocation might be relevant if performance issues manifest post-deployment. The script execution policy is less likely to be the cause if the IaC template has deployed without errors, and security configurations are deemed correct. Updating the orchestration tool's version, while sometimes necessary, does not directly affect the database connection settings within a template.
