ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
A security architect is comparing an on-premises private cloud with migrating the same workloads to AWS. She notes that, in a public cloud the underlying compute, storage, and network hardware are dynamically assigned to multiple unrelated customers and are operated exclusively by the provider. Which public cloud characteristic is she referring to?
Resource pooling that enables multi-tenant infrastructure shared among customers
Customer-dedicated hardware located in a segregated data-center cage
Exclusive use of private leased lines for all connectivity
On-premises deployment behind the organization's private firewall
One of the defining traits of a public cloud is resource pooling-sometimes called multi-tenancy-where the provider's physical and virtual resources are shared among numerous customers. Workloads are isolated logically rather than by dedicated hardware, allowing the provider to maximize utilization and offer elastic, pay-as-you-go capacity. The other options describe attributes that are not typical of a public cloud: customer-owned hardware, on-premises deployment, or dedicated/private network links.
