Certificate of Cloud Auditing Knowledge (CCAK) — Question 138

A cloud customer is involved in an acquisition that was done to consolidate different cloud services into a single relationship with a single cloud service provider. As a result, which type of termination is triggered by the cloud customer?

Answer options

• A. Termination for acquisition
• B. Termination for convenience
• C. Termination for cause
• D. Termination at the end of the term

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Termination for convenience, as this type of termination allows a customer to end a contract without cause, which is often the case when consolidating services. Options A and C imply specific reasons for termination that do not apply here, while D refers to a termination that occurs automatically at the end of a contract's duration, not due to an acquisition.
