Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 340

If a company needed to guarantee through contract and SLAs that a cloud provider would always have available sufficient resources to start their services and provide a certain level of provisioning, what would the contract need to refer to?

Answer options

• A. Limit
• B. Reservation
• C. Assurance
• D. Guarantee

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Reservation, as it directly relates to securing resources in advance to meet the service demands. The other options do not specifically address the commitment to ensure resource availability; 'Limit' suggests a cap, 'Assurance' implies a promise without binding terms, and 'Guarantee' does not specifically denote the act of reserving resources.
