Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 200

Which cloud storage type requires special consideration on the part of the cloud customer to ensure they do not program themselves into a vendor lock-in situation?

Answer options

• A. Unstructured
• B. Object
• C. Volume
• D. Structured

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as structured data storage often involves specific formats and schemas that are proprietary to certain vendors, making it easier for customers to become dependent on them. In contrast, unstructured, object, and volume storage types generally offer more flexibility and compatibility across different platforms, reducing the risk of vendor lock-in.
