Congrats

Based on the ipconfig output, which one of the following best explains why Ed's Windows system is unable to connect to the network? Here is one such analysis per option: The system has been assigned an invalid IP address by the DHCP server. An IP address not matching on the system about the expected network configuration would more than likely be a problem with DHCP; however, it would never assign an invalid IP address. In most cases, it would fail to get an IP address if something is wrong. The system is statically assigned an IP address: Connectivity would only be prevented if it were outside of the network range or if it didn't match the settings of the network, such as subnet mask and gateway. It means that the system has failed to get a DHCP address and has assigned one to itself. Usually, this would be indicated by something like an 169.254.x.x address, an APIPA address assigned whenever the system is unable to reach a DHCP server. Bad configuration of Subnet Mask and system unable to talk with gateway: Suppose there is a mismatch in the subnet mask to the network configuration; then the system cannot communicate well with the other devices, let alone the gateway. Not seeing the specific ipconfig output, option 3 is normally the most common issue when a system is not able to connect and assigns itself an IP, usually an APIPA address starting with 169.254. Thus, probably correct would be: "The system has failed to get a DHCP address and assigned itself an address."

The start-up is using a large-scale cloud provider for its infrastructure (IaaS) and email services (SaaS), both of which operate in shared environments where multiple customers use the same resources. This setup is characteristic of a public cloud, where cloud providers offer services to many organizations over the internet, sharing the underlying infrastructure.

Redundancy provides backup resources, such as duplicate servers or systems, so that if one component fails, another can take over without causing downtime. This helps maintain continuous access to the service, which is crucial for a financial institution where customers expect uninterrupted access to account information.
