Exam CCSP topic 1 question 4 discussion

NIST says "Measured service".

measured service is the correct answer, it is about the "proper" term used in the way to define the benefits of cloud. Always remember it's a "measured service in a metered way"

This ensures customers pay based on their actual usage, often measured in time or consumption of resources. It’s a fair and flexible approach to cloud billing.

B: NIST Special Publication 800-145 says "Measured service. Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability1 at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing, bandwidth, and active user accounts). Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported, providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service." CCSP CBK also states under the UNDERSTAND CLOUD COMPUTING CONCEPTS, Key Cloud Computing Characteristics: "Measured Service Metering service usage allows a CSP to charge for the resources used. In a private cloud, this can allow an organization to charge each department based on their usage of the cloud. For a public cloud, it allows each customer to pay for the resources used or consumed. With a measured service, everyone pays their share of the costs."

both B or D are correct

In the Study guide, both measured and metered service are equivalent.

Measure service is the correct answer.

A measured service allows for better resource management and cost control, as it aligns with the pay-as-you-go approach that is a key characteristic of cloud computing services.

The correct answer is D. Metered service. In a metered service model, a cloud customer pays only for the resources and offerings they use within a cloud environment, and only for the duration that they are consuming them. This is also known as a pay-as-you-go or pay-per-use model. Consumable, measured, and billable services are not specific terms related to this type of pricing model.

Correct answer is D. As per NIST document publish by Ajani. Measured service. Cloud systems automatically control and optimize resource use by leveraging a metering capability1 at some level of abstraction appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing, bandwidth, and active user accounts). Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and reported, providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the utilized service.

Guessing we stick with the NIST 800-145 definitions.

Excuse me I meant both " B and D"

Both A & D are correct
