A company uses a cloud-based virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution. Users report that logging in takes 5 minutes during peak hours. The IT team notices that the cloud provider's resource utilization is at 95%. Which action would best resolve this issue?
Trap 1: Migrate to a different cloud provider
Migrating is costly and time-consuming; the issue is resource allocation, not the provider itself.
Trap 2: Scale out by adding more virtual desktops
Adding more VMs might spread the load but doesn't fix the saturation of existing resources.
Trap 3: Disable automatic scaling
Disabling auto-scaling would prevent the system from adjusting to demand, likely worsening the problem.
- A
Migrate to a different cloud provider
Why wrong: Migrating is costly and time-consuming; the issue is resource allocation, not the provider itself.
- B
Scale up the virtual machines by increasing CPU and RAM
Scaling up gives each VM more resources, reducing contention and speeding up logins.
- C
Scale out by adding more virtual desktops
Why wrong: Adding more VMs might spread the load but doesn't fix the saturation of existing resources.
- D
Disable automatic scaling
Why wrong: Disabling auto-scaling would prevent the system from adjusting to demand, likely worsening the problem.
