Report Issue

Answer Description

ISO/IEC 17789 groups cloud-related tasks into four high-level cloud computing activities: Use, Provide, Manage, and Access. The scenario describes an internal tool that performs tasks normally carried out by the cloud service provider side-creating resource instances for tenants, configuring service parameters such as network policies, and measuring usage for billing. These tasks correspond to the Provide activity, whose focus is the provisioning and operational control of cloud services delivered to customers. The other activities do not fit: Use is performed by cloud service consumers after resources exist; Manage covers business support and monitoring functions that operate on the service but do not provision it; Access refers to identity and entitlement management for endpoints consuming the service.
