Exam CCSP topic 1 question 202 discussion

While virtualization and resource pooling are foundational technologies that enable cloud computing, they don’t inherently create the rapid, transient changes that complicate audit trails. Elasticity is the characteristic that allows resources to scale up or down quickly based on demand. This dynamic provisioning and deprovisioning of resources means that the environment is continuously shifting, which makes it harder to track changes over time and ensure ongoing compliance. Virtualization abstracts hardware, but the virtual instances often remain relatively stable once provisioned. Resource pooling means sharing resources among multiple customers, but it doesn’t necessarily lead to rapid changes in individual system configurations. Thus, it’s the elastic nature of cloud resources that poses the biggest challenge for auditing over time.

Virtualization as it is difficult for the audit trail

so, if its virtualization only on cloud-computing, is that mean you don't have virtualization in on-prem ? resource pooling makes it tough in cloud because it leads to other clients also using the same resource (hardware CPU, RAM, space) as you which makes it tough to audit.

B: Virtualization

Virtualization as the creation and destruction of virtualized resources happens all the time so meaningful compliance reporting becomes very difficult, even if you use a baseline for all resources.

wow that is a tough question. I can see valid justifications for all of them!
