CompTIA Cloud+ CV0-003 Practice Question
A cloud engineer is preparing to roll out several virtual instances for a department handling highly confidential data. The organization has specific compliance requirements that dictate a stringent security configuration. The engineer must choose a deployment method that ensures each virtual instance will be consistent with the latest organizational security directives. Which method should the engineer employ?
Execute a standard operating system installation followed by an automated security configuration script that was last reviewed six months ago.
Deploy instances from a hardened golden image crafted to reflect up-to-date organizational security baselines at the time of instance creation.
Duplicate the configuration of an existing, secure environment without reviewing recent security advisories and baseline updates.
Utilize a template from the organization's image repository without verifying when it was last updated with the latest security standards.
