CCSP Exam - Question 352


Having a reservation in a cloud environment can ensure operations continue in the event of high utilization across the cloud.

Which of the following would NOT be a capability covered by reservations?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

A reservation in a cloud environment ensures that certain resources are guaranteed to be available regardless of overall utilization. This can help ensure the ability to start virtual machines, run applications, and perform business operations even during periods of high demand. However, auto-scaling, which involves dynamically adjusting resource allocation based on current demand, falls outside the capability covered by reservations as it typically requires infrastructure to be provisioned beyond preset reservations.

A reservation in a cloud environment ensures that specific resources (e.g., CPU, memory, storage) are allocated and available even during periods of high demand. This helps maintain business continuity for critical operations. However, auto-scaling is not covered by reservations because auto-scaling is a dynamic process that automatically increases or decreases resources based on demand. Reservations guarantee capacity, but they do not control the automatic scaling of resources.
