Actual exam question from CompTIA's SY0-601
Question #: 3
Topic #: 1
[All SY0-601 Questions]

A Chief Security Officer is looking for a solution that can provide increased scalability and flexibility for back-end infrastructure, allowing it to be updated and modified without disruption to services. The security architect would like the solution selected to reduce the back-end server resources and has highlighted that session persistence is not important for the applications running on the back-end servers. Which of the following would BEST meet the requirements?

  • A. Reverse proxy
  • B. Automated patch management
  • C. Snapshots
  • D. NIC teaming

I'm not sure who the "expert verifier" is for some of these answers, but there are multiple questions that have the wrong answer selected, such as this question being labeled as answer "C", when the real answer is "A". A snapshot doesn't do anything listed in the question, it's just a snap of the state of a server at a specific time, used to restore from backup. I advise all participants on this site to check your answers.

I've learned that since Comptia doesn't share the answers after an exam, there are many sources available with various answers. I suggest anyone taking the test to read discussions on answers, do research, then take the most educated guess for some of these questions. This one is obviously not snapshots though

here is the thing about this website. the comptia allow these sites as long they don't give the right answer. This is the only place people made a comment or argue their answer. AND it does help you to search also the right answer. Where on earth do you get a questions like these?

its the way to distribute load across different servers, at the same time you can remove from the cluster each server that you want to update.

The key word is "Back-end servers". That's what Reverse Proxies are used for. :)

NIC Teaming combines the throughput of 2 or more network adapters to provide a higher speed than a single connection. This would help with increasing the speed, but the requirements between the CSO and architect were increase scalability, increase flexibility, allowed to make changes without service disruption, reduce back-end server resources, and session persistence being insignificant for the backend applications. Since increased speed is not a requirement, NIC Teaming would NOT be the correct answer.

They're looking for ways to provide increased scalability and flexibility for back-end infrastructure, not availability or fault tolerance. NIC Teaming does not provide increased scalability and flexibility.

Selected Answer: A
Explanation: Reverse proxy: A reverse proxy sits in front of web servers and forwards client requests to the appropriate back-end servers. It can offload tasks such as SSL termination, caching, and load balancing from the back-end servers, reducing their workload and resource utilization. Additionally, reverse proxies can distribute traffic among multiple back-end servers, improving scalability and flexibility. Since session persistence is not important for the applications running on the back-end servers, the reverse proxy can distribute requests dynamically without needing to maintain session state, further reducing the burden on individual servers.

Selected Answer: A
Based on the requirements provided, a Reverse Proxy would be the best choice to meet the objectives of both the Chief Security Officer and the security architect. Here's a breakdown of why each option may or may not suit your needs: A. Reverse Proxy: Increased Scalability: Reverse proxies can distribute incoming requests to various back-end servers, improving scalability and ensuring high availability. Flexibility for Updates: Since the reverse proxy handles client requests, backend servers can be taken down for maintenance or updates without causing service disruption. Reduced Server Resources: By caching content and offloading SSL termination, reverse proxies can reduce the load on back-end servers. Session Persistence Not Important: A reverse proxy can operate without needing to maintain session persistence, aligning with your requirement.

Selected Answer: A
A reverse proxy acts as an intermediary server between clients and back-end servers. It receives requests from clients, forwards those requests to the appropriate back-end servers, and then sends the responses back to the clients. Reverse proxies are often used for load balancing, security, and improving performance. 1. Increased scalability and flexibility: Reverse proxies can distribute client requests across multiple back-end servers, providing increased scalability. They also allow for easier modification and updating of the back-end infrastructure without disrupting services, as changes can be made to the back-end servers without affecting the clients directly. 2. Reduced back-end server resources: By distributing client requests across multiple back-end servers, a reverse proxy can balance the load, reducing the burden on individual back-end servers and optimizing resource utilization. 3. Session persistence not important: In some scenarios, session persistence is critical to maintain user state across requests. However, in this case, session persistence is explicitly stated as not important. This means the reverse proxy doesn't need to manage sticky sessions, further simplifying the setup.
