Question 126

What are the NIST defined essential characteristics of cloud computing?

Rapid elasticity, compliance readiness, and resource pooling

Broad network access, measured service, multifactor configurability, and resource pooling

Broad network access, automatic patching, compliance readiness, and resource pooling

Broad network access, rapid elasticity, measured service, on-demand self-service, and resource pooling

Broad network access, rapid elasticity, automatic patching, and resource pooling

Correct Answer: D

The NIST defines the essential characteristics of cloud computing as broad network access, rapid elasticity, measured service, on-demand self-service, and resource pooling. These characteristics ensure that cloud computing services are flexible, scalable, measurable, and accessible over the network while providing the capability for users to provision services as needed.
