The correct answer is D. Cloud-based services are typically more limited in offerings and configurations than the company.

Question
Henry is the network manager at XYY Corporation, a large manufacturing company that competes in the global market. The company's computing environment is extremely complex and includes several proprietary software systems, all of which require custom configuration of network devices to operate correctly. The company's executive management team believes that they can benefit by switching the company over to any cloud-based service. Henry disagrees. What is a disadvantage of cloud-based services that Henry can cite to support his position?

Explanation
Option D is correct because cloud-based services are standardized and designed for broad compatibility - they rarely support the deep, custom configurations that complex proprietary systems require, making them a poor fit for XYY Corporation's specialized network environment.
Why the others are wrong:
- A is false - cloud providers typically offer extensive maintenance and support as a core part of their service model.
- B is the opposite of the general reality; cloud services are usually cheaper than maintaining equivalent in-house infrastructure, especially at scale.
- C is a distractor with no basis - connecting to cloud services does not inherently require purchasing additional servers on-premises.
Memory tip: Think "Cloud = Cookie Cutter." Cloud services are built for the masses, not for custom, complex environments - if your company has highly specialized needs, the cloud's one-size-fits-all approach becomes a limitation.
