Certified Cloud Security Engineer (CCSE) — Question 12

A cloud organization, AZS, wants to maintain homogeneity in its cloud operations because the CPU speed measured by AZS varies and the measurement units lack consistency in the standards. For example, AWS defines the CPU speed with Elastic Compute Unit, Google with Google Compute Engine Unit, and Microsoft with clock speed. Here, which cloud computing standard can leverage frameworks and architectures specific to the cloud for maintaining homogeneity in operations?

Answer options

• A. CSA
• B. DMTF
• C. OCC
• D. NIST

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is NIST, as it provides guidelines and standards that promote consistency across various cloud services. While CSA, DMTF, and OCC focus on specific aspects of cloud computing, they do not specifically address the need for homogeneity in operations like NIST does.
