Cloud Computing Risks and Challenges

6. Which of the following might factor into an exit strategy for a cloud
customer?

A. Vendor lock-in

B. Self-service
C. Standardization

D. Automation

C. Standardization allows cloud customers to move web services
or data between cloud providers.
A, B, and D are incorrect. Vendor lock-in works against a cloud
customer’s exit strategy since it implies methods and components

specific to that cloud provider. Self-service and automation are related
to the provisioning of cloud IT resources and have nothing to do with
exit strategies.

7. Which of the following is not considered a cloud computing risk?

A. Loss of network connectivity
B. Data stored in the cloud

C. Network latency

D. Host-based firewalls

D. Host-based firewalls are not a risk; they mitigate network
attacks.
A, B, and C are incorrect because they are all risks associated with
cloud computing.
