ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
During a project briefing, the CIO notes that the cloud provider will draw CPU, memory and storage from a shared hardware platform and dynamically allocate those resources to any tenant that needs them, while shielding customers from the exact physical location of their workloads. According to the NIST definition of cloud computing, which essential characteristic is the CIO describing?
The described scenario matches the NIST essential characteristic called "resource pooling." Resource pooling refers to the provider's use of a multi-tenant model to serve multiple customers with dynamically assigned physical and virtual resources, with location independence so customers cannot tell (and often do not control) the exact hardware in use. Rapid elasticity focuses on quick scaling, broad network access emphasizes ubiquitous connectivity, and on-demand self-service involves customers provisioning resources without human interaction. None of those specifically require resources to be abstracted from their physical location and shared among tenants; that capability is unique to resource pooling.
