CompTIA Network+ Practice Test for Subdomain 1.3 #02

By /

Welcome to today’s CompTIA Network+ practice test!

This practice test uses our new UI!

Today’s practice test is based on Subdomain 1.3 (Summarize cloud concepts and connectivity options) from the CompTIA Network+ N10-009 objectives.

This beginner-level practice test is inspired by the CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) exam and is designed to help you reinforce key networking concepts on a daily basis.

These questions are not official exam questions, nor are they brain dumps, but they reflect topics and scenarios relevant to the Network+ certification. Use them to test your knowledge, identify areas for improvement, and build daily cybersecurity habits.

CompTIA Network+ Practice Test for Subdomain 1.3 #02
10 questions • Single best answer
Question 1
A cloud architect at a financial services firm is redesigning the network infrastructure to replace dedicated hardware appliances such as firewalls, load balancers, and routers with software-based equivalents running on commodity servers in the cloud. The goal is to reduce capital expenditure and accelerate provisioning. Which cloud concept describes this approach?
    Question 2
    A network engineer at a retail organization is provisioning cloud resources and needs to create a logically isolated virtual network within a public cloud provider's infrastructure. The network will have its own IP address range, subnets, route tables, and security controls defined by the organization. Which cloud component is being configured?
      Question 3
      A systems administrator at a healthcare organization is configuring security controls for cloud-based virtual machines. She needs to define stateful inbound and outbound traffic rules that are applied at the individual instance level, allowing granular control over which traffic each instance can send and receive. Which cloud construct is being configured?
        Question 4
        A cloud engineer is architecting a multi-tier application in a virtual private cloud and must apply subnet-wide traffic filtering rules that will govern all resources within each subnet. The rules will be stateless and evaluated for both inbound and outbound traffic on every connection. Which cloud security construct should be used?
          Question 5
          A network administrator is deploying web servers in a public subnet of a cloud VPC and needs those servers to be reachable from external clients on the internet while also being able to initiate outbound connections. Which cloud component must be attached to the VPC to enable this bidirectional communication between the subnet and the internet?
            Question 6
            A cloud engineer is configuring a VPC for a development environment where application servers in a private subnet need to download software packages and security updates from the internet. The servers must not be directly reachable from the internet under any circumstances. Which cloud component should be deployed to meet this requirement?
              Question 7
              The network team at a financial trading firm requires a private, dedicated connection between their on-premises data center and their cloud provider to support latency-sensitive workloads. The solution must offer consistent bandwidth, predictable performance, and must not route traffic across the public internet. Which cloud connectivity option should be implemented?
                Question 8
                An enterprise organization hosts its regulated financial data on a private on-premises infrastructure to meet compliance requirements, while also using a public cloud for customer-facing applications and development workloads. The two environments are integrated and can exchange data through a secure connection. Which cloud deployment model describes this architecture?
                  Question 9
                  A development team at a software company wants to build and deploy a custom web application in the cloud without managing the underlying servers, operating systems, patching, or storage infrastructure. They want to focus entirely on writing code and configuring their application runtime. Which cloud service model best meets this requirement?
                    Question 10
                    An e-commerce company's cloud-hosted platform automatically provisions additional compute instances within minutes when holiday traffic spikes beyond normal thresholds and then releases those resources once demand returns to baseline, all without manual intervention from the operations team. Which cloud characteristic is being demonstrated?
