Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 493

Which aspect of cloud computing will be most negatively impacted by vendor lock-in?

Answer options

• A. Elasticity
• B. Reversibility
• C. Interoperability
• D. Portability

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Portability is the ability to move applications and data between different cloud environments. Vendor lock-in makes it difficult to transfer services or data to another provider, which directly affects portability. In contrast, elasticity, reversibility, and interoperability are less impacted by vendor restrictions.
