What should Tom be cautious of if he finds a number of storage volumes not connected to any project?

  1. DNS

  2. Stale services

  3. Orphaned resources

  4. Dashboard service

The correct answer is: Orphaned resources

When Tom encounters storage volumes that are not connected to any project, his primary concern should be with orphaned resources. Orphaned resources are cloud resources that are not actively being utilized by any applications or projects. They may incur unnecessary costs since cloud service providers typically bill based on the resources provisioned, regardless of their use. Recognizing and managing orphaned resources is essential for cost optimization and efficient resource utilization within a cloud environment. In contrast, issues related to DNS primarily involve domain name resolution and networking, which are not directly related to disconnected storage volumes. Stale services refer to services that are no longer actively used but may not necessarily pertain to storage volumes. Lastly, dashboard services generally relate to monitoring and displaying cloud resources, rather than addressing issues surrounding unconnected storage volumes. Therefore, the focus should be on identifying and managing orphaned resources to maintain an efficient cloud infrastructure.
