Aisha is preparing to give a presentation to management about the development of cloudcomputing services that her company is planning to implement. Which of the following might her managers mention…

Question

Options

• ASpeed
• BCost
• CFlexibility
• DScalability

• A
  92% (34)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  5% (2)

Explanation

Speed is the correct objection because cloud services rely on internet connectivity, meaning performance is subject to network latency, bandwidth limitations, and potential outages - all of which can slow down access to applications and data compared to local on-premise systems. Managers might reasonably raise concerns about mission-critical operations being dependent on external network conditions.

Cost (B) is wrong because it's typically a benefit - cloud services reduce capital expenditure on hardware and shift costs to a predictable pay-as-you-go model. Flexibility (C) is wrong because cloud is praised for enabling access from anywhere on any device, which is an advantage. Scalability (D) is wrong because on-demand scaling is one of cloud computing's defining strengths - resources can be increased or decreased almost instantly.

Memory tip: Remember the acronym SFS - Scalability, Flexibility, (cost) Savings are the three big selling points of cloud. If a question asks for a drawback, none of those three will be the answer - look instead for issues related to internet dependency, security, or speed.
