A cloud administrator needs to ensure efficient operation and quick fault isolation in a large-scale cloud environment. Which of the following would be the BEST approach to configure the infrastructure for these requirements?
Deploy network analyzers to actively monitor data flow between infrastructure components.
Maintain detailed documentation of infrastructure components and their configurations.
Implement a configuration management database (CMDB) to manage all infrastructure components.
Set up Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps on all networking devices.
Using a configuration management database (CMDB) would be the best approach because it provides a centralized repository where all infrastructure components, their configurations, and their relationships can be tracked and managed. This would facilitate efficient operations by providing visibility into the infrastructure and help in quick fault isolation by analyzing the components' interdependencies. Setting up SNMP traps is important for monitoring, but it does not offer comprehensive visibility into the configuration and relationships of components. Deployment of network analyzers would help in diagnosing network-related issues but doesn't cover other infrastructure aspects. While documentation is crucial for maintaining system knowledge, it is not as dynamic or integrated as a CMDB.
