ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

Your SaaS platform runs a stateless REST API on container clusters in a single public cloud availability zone. Management asks for greater resiliency so that customer requests continue with minimal disruption if the zone becomes unavailable. Which architectural change best satisfies this requirement while aligning with high-availability design principles?

  • Deploy identical API clusters in a second availability zone and load-balance traffic across both zones using health checks.

  • Enable horizontal pod auto-scaling inside the existing zone to add containers when CPU usage peaks.

  • Schedule nightly database and filesystem backups to object storage in a different region for disaster recovery.

  • Place the API behind a global CDN to cache responses and reduce latency for end users.
