CV0-004 Practice Question: A developer is using a cloud provider's CLI to…
A developer is using a cloud provider's CLI to manage resources. Which TWO commands are commonly used to troubleshoot instance connectivity?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse `ssh` (a connectivity-dependent tool) with a diagnostic command, or assume `reboot` can resolve network issues, when the exam specifically tests the ability to select commands that *diagnose* rather than *fix* connectivity problems.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
traceroute
D is correct because the `traceroute` command is a standard network diagnostic tool that identifies the path packets take from the source to a destination, revealing each hop's latency and any points of failure. It uses ICMP (or UDP on Linux) with incrementing TTL values to map the route, making it essential for troubleshooting connectivity issues between cloud instances and external endpoints.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
reboot
Why it's wrong here
Reboot restarts the instance but does not test connectivity.
- ✗
ssh
Why it's wrong here
SSH tests application-layer access, not network connectivity.
- ✗
create-tags
Why it's wrong here
Create-tags is for tagging resources, not troubleshooting.
- ✓
traceroute
Why this is correct
Traceroute identifies the path and can pinpoint where connectivity fails.
- ✓
ping
Why this is correct
Ping verifies basic IPv4 connectivity to the instance.
