A cloud administrator has been alerted to an issue where a critical application becomes unresponsive at random intervals. Monitoring tools show that the instance hosting the application is reaching its maximum processing capacity sporadically. What is the BEST immediate action to improve the application's responsiveness?
You selected this option
Reboot the instance to clear any temporary processing bottlenecks.
You selected this option
Allocate additional processing power to the instance.
You selected this option
Modify the instance's security group configurations.
You selected this option
Initiate a comprehensive code review to optimize application performance.
When an instance exhibits signs of maximum processing capacity being reached sporadically, which can lead to application unresponsiveness, the most direct approach to mitigate this issue is to allocate more processing power to the instance. Adjusting security group configurations or optimizing application code are longer-term solutions that require code review or architectural changes and would not address immediate resource constraints. Rebooting the instance may cause unwanted downtime and does not guarantee that the issue related to processing power will be resolved.
