Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 73

Limits for resource utilization can be set at different levels within a cloud environment to ensure that no particular entity can consume a level of resources that impacts other cloud customers.
Which of the following is NOT a unit covered by limits?

Answer options

• A. Hypervisor
• B. Cloud customer
• C. Virtual machine
• D. Service

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as hypervisors are the underlying technology that manages virtual machines, but they are not directly limited as a unit. In contrast, cloud customers, virtual machines, and services are typically subject to resource utilization limits to maintain fair use across the cloud environment.
