• BCloud consumer
• CCloud carrier
• DCloud auditor

• A

• C
  93% (14)

Explanation

Explanation

Option C (Cloud Carrier) is correct because, according to the NIST cloud deployment reference architecture, a Cloud Carrier is an intermediary that provides connectivity and transport services between cloud consumers and cloud service providers - exactly what the telecom company is doing by supplying internet connectivity and transport infrastructure in this scenario.

Option A (Cloud Broker) is wrong because a Cloud Broker manages the use, performance, and delivery of cloud services by negotiating relationships between consumers and providers - not providing network connectivity. Option B (Cloud Consumer) is incorrect because the consumer is the organization (Joe's company) that actually uses the cloud service, not the telecom company enabling the connection. Option D (Cloud Auditor) is wrong because a Cloud Auditor independently examines cloud service controls for security, privacy, and performance - an entirely different function from transport services.

Memory Tip: Think of a Cloud Carrier like a telephone carrier - just as a phone company carries your voice calls, a Cloud Carrier carries your data between you and the cloud. The name literally tells you its function!
