Certified Cloud Security Professional – CCSP – Question247

If a cloud computing customer wishes to guarantee that a minimum level of resources will always be available, which of the following set of services would compromise the reservation?

A.
Memory and networking
B. CPU and software
C. CPU and storage
D. CPU and memory

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Explanation: A reservation guarantees to a cloud customer that they will have access to a minimal level of resources to run their systems, which will help mitigate against DoS attacks or systems that consume high levels of resources. A reservation pertains to memory and CPU resources. Under the concept of a reservation, memory and CPU are the guaranteed resources, but storage and networking are not included even though they are core components of cloud computing. Software would be out of scope for a guarantee and doesn’t really pertain to the concept.
