A company recently expanded its cloud infrastructure by adding additional compute resources from a different data center within the same cloud service provider. After the expansion, users report intermittent connectivity issues when accessing cloud-based applications. What should be the first step to troubleshoot this issue according to the troubleshooting methodology?
Test the network configuration within the new data center for misconfigurations.
Immediately escalate the issue to the cloud service provider assuming it's an issue on their end.
Inquire regarding recent environmental or infrastructure changes that coincide with the onset of the connectivity issues.
Review the security policies applied to the new compute resources for misconfigured ACLs.
