Dell EMC Associate – Cloud Infrastructure and Services v3 — Question 10

A cloud service provider uses a resource pooling approach to improve the utilization of resources by sharing them with multiple customers. What mechanism should the cloud provider deploy to prevent one consumer from accessing the virtual machines of another consumer?

Answer options

• A. Hypervisor-based resource pooling
• B. Secure multitenancy through isolation
• C. Pooling of resources through multitenancy
• D. Virtual machine-based resource pooling

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as pooling of resources through multitenancy allows multiple customers to share the same physical resources while maintaining separation. Options A and D focus on resource pooling mechanisms but do not address consumer isolation. Option B mentions secure multitenancy through isolation, which is not the primary pooling mechanism being asked for.
