Which aspect of cloud computing makes it very difficult to perform repeat audits over time to track changes and compliance?
Multitenancy in cloud computing refers to the practice of multiple customers (tenants) sharing the same physical resources within a cloud environment. This makes it very challenging to perform repeat audits over time to track changes and compliance due to the difficulty of isolating and tracking specific changes for each individual tenant among the shared resources.
multitenancy is correct, good explanation provided.
I dont understand comments like these. The given answer is A. You select A, then state multitenancy is correct (which is B), and refer to the explanation provided being good, which is an explanation for virtualization being the answer. Why is this upvoted two times?
B. Multitenancy
virtualization as i think Multitenancy shouldnt impact audit
The correct answer is "B". Multitenancy in cloud computing refers to the practice of multiple customers (tenants) sharing the same physical resources within a cloud environment. While multitenancy can lead to cost efficiencies and resource optimization, it can also make it more challenging to perform repeat audits over time to track changes and compliance. This is because multiple tenants may be making changes and utilizing the same shared resources, making it difficult to isolate and track specific changes and ensure compliance for each individual tenant.
Virtualization is cloud, especially with templates and best practices to automate. Which would make it very easy to track and repeat logging and auditing. Bad question
Virtualization - A
it is a valid point that cloud environments are dynamic and constantly changing, with virtual machines being updated, patched, and replaced over time. This can make it challenging to maintain continuity and consistency between audits, as the environment may look different each time. However, this is primarily a result of the virtualization and dynamic resource allocation that are common in cloud environments, rather than the multitenancy aspect specifically. Multitenancy refers to the sharing of resources and infrastructure among multiple tenants, which can complicate audit tracking and consistency in a different way.
Answer is B. Multi-tenancy.
When multiple tenants share the same underlying infrastructure, it becomes complex to maintain a granular level of visibility and control over the data and activities of each tenant.
Answer A is correct. The virtual machines in the cloud environment regularly change due to patching and version updates.
