ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
During a disaster-recovery exercise, your team must spin up an entire three-tier application stack in a public IaaS environment. The requirement is to launch multiple virtual machines, place them in the correct virtual networks, attach storage volumes, configure auto-scaling groups, and register instances with a load balancer - all from a single, version-controlled template executed on demand. According to cloud computing building block technologies, which capability is chiefly responsible for enabling this coordinated, end-to-end automation?
The ability to deploy and coordinate multiple cloud resources (compute, network, and storage) from a single template or workflow is provided by orchestration services (for example, AWS CloudFormation, Azure Resource Manager, or HashiCorp Terraform). Orchestration tools translate declarative templates into ordered API calls that create, configure, and link dependent components, as well as apply policies such as auto-scaling.
Virtualization supplies the hypervisor layer that abstracts physical hardware but does not inherently automate multi-resource builds. Software-defined storage focuses on pooling and presenting storage resources, while containerization packages applications and their dependencies but does not, by itself, coordinate external services like load balancers and networks. Therefore, orchestration is the building block technology that meets the requirement.
