CISSP study material · question 217 of 500

A finance team asks how it can verify what a cloud service actually consumed last month, and how the provider justifies the invoice. Which essential characteristic covers this?

  1. Measured service, under which usage is monitored, controlled and reported at a level suited to the service.
  2. Broad network access, under which the service is reachable by standard mechanisms.
  3. Resource pooling, under which resources are reassigned by demand.
  4. Rapid elasticity, under which capacity scales with demand.
Show the answer

Answer: A. Measured service, under which usage is monitored, controlled and reported at a level suited to the service.

Measured service means cloud systems meter resource use at an appropriate level of abstraction, with usage monitored, controlled and reported to give both parties transparency.
