CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) — Question 87

A company wants to migrate mission-critical applications to the cloud. In order for technicians to build, decommission, and perform other routine functions, which of the following cloud characteristics would BEST satisfy this business requirement?

Answer options

• A. Self-service
• B. Elasticity
• C. Broad network access
• D. Availability

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as self-service capabilities empower technicians to independently manage resources without needing to wait for assistance. Options B (Elasticity), C (Broad network access), and D (Availability) are important cloud characteristics, but they do not provide the same level of operational control for routine tasks as self-service does.
