Exam CCSP topic 1 question 141 discussion

D is correct

Dynamic optimization in cloud computing refers to the continuous and automatic adjustment of resources (e.g., scaling, load balancing, and instance migrations) to optimize performance and efficiency. This makes it difficult to perform repeat audits over time because: Constant Changes → Cloud resources are provisioned, modified, and decommissioned dynamically, making it hard to track what has changed between audits. Ephemeral Workloads → Instances and containers may exist only for a short time, meaning traditional audit logs might miss key events. Compliance Challenges → Regulatory frameworks often require evidence of consistent security configurations, but dynamic optimization can introduce unexpected changes. Why the other options are incorrect:

Guys, it's D. Dynamic optimization refers to the cloud's ability to automatically adjust and reallocate resources as needed, often without human intervention. This can make it challenging to track and audit specific changes over time, as configurations and resource allocations may change dynamically. A. Virtualization: While virtualization is a fundamental technology in cloud computing, it does not inherently complicate repeat audits. It provides a consistent platform for tracking resources. B. Multitenancy: Multitenancy involves sharing resources among multiple customers, which poses security and isolation challenges, but it does not specifically hinder repeat audits. C. Resource pooling: Resource pooling refers to combining resources for efficiency. It doesn't directly affect the ability to perform audits, as pooled resources are typically managed and tracked systematically.

Dynamic optimization : specifically refers to the frequent and automated changes that pose unique challenges to auditing and compliance tracking.

Dynamic optimization. This aspect continuously adjusts resources and configurations, complicating repeat audits and tracking changes over time.

Answer A is correct. The virtual machines in the cloud environment regularly change due to patching and version updates.

The correct answer is "B". Multitenancy in cloud computing refers to the practice of multiple customers (tenants) sharing the same physical resources within a cloud environment. While multitenancy can lead to cost efficiencies and resource optimization, it can also make it more challenging to perform repeat audits over time to track changes and compliance. This is because multiple tenants may be making changes and utilizing the same shared resources, making it difficult to isolate and track specific changes and ensure compliance for each individual tenant.

When multiple tenants share the same underlying infrastructure, it becomes complex to maintain a granular level of visibility and control over the data and activities of each tenant.

Answer is B. Multi-tenancy.

it is a valid point that cloud environments are dynamic and constantly changing, with virtual machines being updated, patched, and replaced over time. This can make it challenging to maintain continuity and consistency between audits, as the environment may look different each time. However, this is primarily a result of the virtualization and dynamic resource allocation that are common in cloud environments, rather than the multitenancy aspect specifically. Multitenancy refers to the sharing of resources and infrastructure among multiple tenants, which can complicate audit tracking and consistency in a different way.

Virtualization - A

Virtualization is cloud, especially with templates and best practices to automate. Which would make it very easy to track and repeat logging and auditing. Bad question

virtualization as i think Multitenancy shouldnt impact audit

B. Multitenancy

multitenancy is correct, good explanation provided.
