Question 780
At the Marshport media AI studio, during a quarterly operating review, a fleet of DPU-equipped AI servers is configured manually and new nodes receive inconsistent security and network settings. Which routine control would most effectively sustain the fix?
Explanation
Correct Answer
After the immediate fix, the priority is to audit configuration drift after server replacement or cluster expansion. This reinforces the control against the original weakness: manual infrastructure configuration can drift independently of accelerator software images. This directly addresses the reported issue at the Marshport media AI studio.
Incorrect Answers
This routine applies to dpu infrastructure offload, but it does not maintain the specific correction needed for the problem at the Marshport media AI studio.
That practice helps control a different risk: equipment fit must account for cabling replacement tasks and airflow access beyond nominal rack units. The recurring control here should be to audit configuration drift after server replacement or cluster expansion. For the Marshport media AI studio, the priority is to use supported automated DPU provisioning and validated desired configuration across the fleet.
The alternative suggests that the team reassess workload power envelopes as models and accelerator generations change; it would not directly prevent the observed issue from returning. For the Marshport media AI studio, the priority is to use supported automated DPU provisioning and validated desired configuration across the fleet.
