What are the primary security responsibilities of the cloud provider in compute virtualizations?

The correct answer is A. Enforce isolation and maintain a secure virtualization infrastructure. Isolation ensures that compute processes or memory in one virtual machine/container should not be visible to another. It is how we separate different tenants, even when they are running processes on the same physical hardware. - The cloud provider is also responsible for…

Explanation

Isolation ensures that compute processes or memory in one virtual machine/container should not be visible to another. It is how we separate different tenants, even when they are running processes on the same physical hardware. - The cloud provider is also responsible for securing the underlying infrastructure and the virtualization technology from external attack or internal misuse. This means using patched and up-to-date hypervisors that are properly configured and supported with processes to keep them up to date and secure over time. The inability to patch hypervisors across a cloud deployment could create a fundamentally insecure cloud when a new vulnerability in the technology is
