CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-001) — Question 32

Which of the following does IT outsourcing and cloud computing typically have in common?

Answer options

• A. Pay as you go agreements
• B. Short-term financial commitment
• C. Tailor-made applications based on client needs
• D. Vendor lock-in potential

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as both IT outsourcing and cloud computing can lead to situations where a client becomes dependent on a specific vendor's services, making it difficult to transition to other providers. Options A, B, and C do not universally apply to both IT outsourcing and cloud computing, as they may vary significantly based on the service model and agreement terms.
