CISSP study material · question 216 of 500

A customer asks its cloud provider exactly which rack its virtual machines run on and is told only the country and datacentre. Which two facts about resource pooling explain this? Choose two.

  1. Pooling requires that the provider withhold all location information for security reasons.
  2. Pooling is multi-tenant, with physical and virtual resources assigned and reassigned according to demand.
  3. Pooling means physical resources are dedicated to one customer at a time.
  4. The customer generally has location independence and may specify location only at a higher level of abstraction.

Answer: B. Pooling is multi-tenant, with physical and virtual resources assigned and reassigned according to demand.
D. The customer generally has location independence and may specify location only at a higher level of abstraction.

Resource pooling serves multiple consumers on a multi-tenant model with resources reassigned by demand, and the customer usually knows location only at an abstraction such as country or datacentre.
