SELF TEST ANSWERS

Identify Challenges in Integrating Cloud Computing into an
Organization’s Existing Governance Framework

1. You are negotiating SLA terms with your cloud provider. Your
company’s chief financial officer, Mia, has concerns with items
contained within the SLA. Which item might Mia be interested in?
A. Cloud service uptime

B. Switching CAPEX to OPEX

C. Cloud service termination fees
D. Web page loading time

C. Cloud service termination fee terms can be buried in the SLA
and must be accounted for as they relate to an exit strategy.

A, B, and D are incorrect. Cloud service uptime and web page
loading time are technical details that would interest the IT department,
not the finance people. Switching CAPEX to OPEX is not part of an
SLA.

2. Which of the following might not be controlled by a public cloud

provider?
A. Cloud service uptime

B. Web page load time
C. Cloud service termination fees

D. Network connection

D. The network connection between a cloud customer and a cloud
provider is usually controlled by a regional Internet provider.
A, B, and C are incorrect. Cloud service uptime, web page load

time, and cloud service termination fees are controlled by cloud
providers, so these items would appear in the SLA.

3. Which of the following cloud-related items presents the greatest risk to
business activity for a cloud customer?

A. Network connectivity problems
B. Cloud providers going out of business
