Which of the following may unilaterally deem a cloud hosting model inappropriate for a system or application?
Regulation can unilaterally deem a cloud hosting model inappropriate for a system or application because certain regulations impose specific requirements that may be impossible for some cloud providers to meet. For instance, regulations related to data sovereignty, compliance, and industry standards often dictate where and how data must be stored and processed. If a cloud provider cannot comply with these regulations, the hosting model will not be deemed appropriate.
