A company's man web application is no longer accessible via the internet.

When a web application is accessible locally via an IP address but not via the internet, the issue likely lies with the Domain Name System (DNS). DNS is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses. A misconfiguration in DNS records or failure in DNS resolution can prevent users from accessing the application through its domain name, even though the application itself is running and accessible via its direct IP address.

In the CompTIA Cloud+ curriculum, understanding cloud concepts and networking fundamentals, including DNS, is crucial for troubleshooting and ensuring applications are accessible and perform optimally in cloud environments.
