CV0-004 Practice Question: Arrange the steps to implement a cloud security…
Arrange the steps to implement a cloud security group that allows only specific IPs to access an application.
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
✓
Step 1: Identify IPs, Step 2: Create security group with rule, Step 3: Set source (IP range), Step 4: Associate security group with resource, Step 5: Test connectivity
The correct sequence ensures that the security group is properly configured with the known allowed IPs before being attached to the resource, and then tested. Identifying IPs first prevents misconfiguration, and setting the source within the rule during creation ensures the rule is complete before association.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Step 1: Identify IPs, Step 2: Create security group with rule, Step 3: Set source (IP range), Step 4: Associate security group with resource, Step 5: Test connectivity
Why this is correct
This is correct because you first determine the allowed IPs, then create the security group with the rule, specify the source IPs, associate the group to the resource, and finally test to confirm proper access.
- ✗
Step 1: Create security group with rule, Step 2: Identify IPs, Step 3: Set source (IP range), Step 4: Associate security group with resource, Step 5: Test connectivity
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because creating the security group before identifying the IPs may lead to incorrect rule definitions; you need to know the allowed IPs first.
- ✗
Step 1: Identify IPs, Step 2: Create security group with rule, Step 3: Associate security group with resource, Step 4: Set source (IP range), Step 5: Test connectivity
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you must set the source IP range in the rule before associating the group; otherwise, the rule is incomplete when associated.
- ✗
Step 1: Identify IPs, Step 2: Set source (IP range), Step 3: Create security group with rule, Step 4: Associate security group with resource, Step 5: Test connectivity
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because setting the source IP range before creating the security group is logically impossible; the source is part of the rule within the group.
