EMC Proven Professional – Cloud Architect — Question 17

What is the key consideration during design phase for a service provider to ensure that they can effectively process the termination of a service instance?

Answer options

• A. Create a retention period for private user data and user PCI data
• B. Provide a chargeback bill or showback report to ensure account closure
• C. Incorporate a service grace period to prevent the actual deletion of the instance
• D. Archive the associated service data regardless of the user requirements

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because archiving service data is essential regardless of user preferences to comply with regulations and maintain historical records. Option A, while important, focuses only on user data retention and does not address the broader service data. Option B relates to billing processes, which are not directly tied to data management during termination, and option C may delay necessary deletions, which could lead to data management issues.
