Which of the following represents a control on the maximum amount of resources that a single customer, virtual machine, or application can consume within a cloud environment?

Answer options

• A. Share
• B. Reservation
• C. Provision
• D. Limit

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a 'Limit' specifically defines the maximum resource consumption allowed for a customer or application.
