Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 347

Within an IaaS implementation, which of the following would NOT be a metric used to quantify service charges for the cloud customer?

Answer options

• A. Memory
• B. Number of users
• C. Storage
• D. CPU

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the number of users is typically not a direct metric used to calculate service charges in an IaaS model. Metrics like Memory, Storage, and CPU are directly related to the resources consumed by the cloud services, while the number of users does not directly impact the billing based on resource usage.
