Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 496

Which aspect of cloud computing makes it very difficult to perform repeat audits over time to track changes and compliance?

Answer options

• A. Virtualization
• B. Multitenancy
• C. Resource pooling
• D. Dynamic optimization

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Virtualization, because it allows multiple virtual instances to run on the same physical hardware, which can lead to complexities in tracking changes over time. The other options, while relevant to cloud computing, do not introduce the same level of difficulty in maintaining consistent audit trails for compliance as virtualization does.
