Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 389

Many activities within a cloud environment are performed via programmatic means, where complex and distributed operations are handled without the need to perform each step individually.
Which of the following concepts does this describe?

Answer options

• A. Orchestration
• B. Provisioning
• C. Automation
• D. Allocation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Orchestration, as it refers to the coordination of multiple automated tasks to streamline complex workflows. While Automation (C) is related, it focuses more on individual task execution rather than the overall management of processes. Provisioning (B) deals with resource allocation but does not encompass the comprehensive management aspect described. Allocation (D) simply refers to the distribution of resources, which is not the primary focus here.
