CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-001) — Question 8

Which of the following will allow an organization to integrate internal identity management services with a cloud provider in order to provide single sign-on across the internal and cloud-hosted environments?

Answer options

• A. Virtualization
• B. Federation
• C. Role-based authentication
• D. Outsourcing

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Role-based authentication, as it allows for specific access controls based on user roles across both environments. The other options do not specifically address the integration of identity management for single sign-on: A focuses on creating virtual environments, B refers to establishing trust relationships but not specifically for identity management, and D involves delegating services rather than integrating them.
