You were recently hired as a project manager at a major university to implement cloud services for the academic and administrative systems. Because the load and demand for services at a university are very cyclical in nature, commensurate with the academic calendar, which of the following aspects of cloud computing would NOT be a primary benefit to you?
Broad network access refers to the ability to access cloud services from a wide range of devices and locations. While this is a beneficial aspect of cloud computing, it isn't specifically advantageous for handling the cyclical nature of academic services' demand. The primary benefits in such scenarios would be related to flexibility and cost management. Measured service allows the university to pay only for the resources they use, resource pooling enables efficient management of resources during peak and off-peak periods, and on-demand self-service permits rapid scaling to meet fluctuating demands. Therefore, broad network access would not be a primary benefit in addressing the cyclical nature of the university's service needs.
If broad network access isn't important, how will the university be able to conduct student online activities?
I also feel resource pooling is not necessary for this kind of application which are cyclic in nature and also there is no need share resources with tenant as well
Because Broad network access refers to resources hosted in a "Private Cloud Network" (University will need Communal Cloud Network instead of PCN) operated within a company's firewall that are available for access from a wide range of devices, such as tablets, PCs, Macs and smartphones. These resources are also accessible from a wide range of locations that offer online access.
It is the only response that I feel is correct. The rest are beneficial.
I would think On-Demand Self service. as it needs manual intervention it may not be of great use, Auto scaling / elasticity would benefit more as opposed to Self service.
Why Resource Pooling is not the answer?
Resource Pooling is a benefit to organizations with cyclical computing needs since they only have to pay for the extra resources during the high demand cycles.
I can see that cyclical nature is one the scenarios stated in the "CCSP Certified Cloud Security Professional All-in-One Exam Guide.", but isn't this reason already covered by "Measured Service"? That is they only pay for the extra resources when they need to use them.
no here measured service means, the university doesn't have to pay for the possible peakload all the time, it's an advantage :)
no here measured service means, the university doesn't have to pay for the possible peakload all the time, it's an advantage :)

B: Broad network access
A. Measured service In a situation where the demand for services is cyclical, with varying loads during different periods (e.g., academic semesters), the measured service, which involves paying for resources based on actual usage, might not provide a significant advantage. Measured service is more beneficial in scenarios with dynamic and variable workloads, where you pay for the resources you consume. In a university setting with predictable and cyclical demand, other aspects like resource pooling and on-demand self-service might be more relevant.
poorly worded question.
While broad network access (the ability to access cloud resources from anywhere) is an important feature of cloud computing, it is not a primary benefit for addressing the cyclical demand of university services. The key benefits that directly help with fluctuating workloads include: Measured service (A): Helps optimize costs by ensuring the university only pays for the resources it uses. Resource pooling (C): Allows efficient allocation of computing resources across different university departments as demand fluctuates. On-demand self-service (D): Enables rapid scaling of services during peak times (e.g., course registration, exams) without manual intervention. Since broad network access primarily relates to accessibility rather than dynamic resource management, it is the least relevant to managing cyclical academic workloads.
