Why would a load balancer be deployed in a production single-node events cluster?
Answer: C
Placing a single-node Events Service deployment behind a load balancer lets clients use a stable endpoint. The deployment can later grow into a multi-node cluster without modifying client configurations; redundancy requires multiple nodes.

Question 2 · Agent Configuration and Installation Open
Which two statements are accurate when upgrading the Database Agent? (Choose two.)
Answer: B, D
A Database Agent upgrade preserves its Controller connection configuration by copying `controller-info.xml` from the backed-up agent directory to the new installation. The upgrade procedure also stops the existing Database Agent and starts the new agent after installation. The Controller does not require a restart, and database collectors are configured in the Controller rather than migrated to the replacement agent.

Question 3 · Pre-Deployment Planning Open
Which framework would necessitate implementing custom correlation?
Answer: B
A custom TCP concurrent server uses a nonstandard communication protocol, so transaction context is not automatically propagated and correlated by the monitoring agent. Custom correlation must be configured to inject and retrieve the correlation data across that TCP-based interaction.
