Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 11

Which of the following concepts refers to a cloud customer paying only for the resources and offerings they use within a cloud environment, and only for the duration that they are consuming them?

Answer options

• A. Consumable service
• B. Measured service
• C. Billable service
• D. Metered service

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Measured service, as it specifically indicates that billing is based on actual usage of resources. Options A and C do not accurately describe the billing model based on usage duration, while D, Metered service, is similar but does not specifically emphasize the billing structure as clearly as Measured service.
