Explanation

cloud computing services are defined as the on-demand availability of computing resources (such as storage and infrastructure), as services over the internet. Cloud computing services share certain characteristics, such as on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity, measured service, multi-tenancy, virtualization, resilient computing, flexible pricing models, security, automation, and sustainability. One of the characteristics that is not recognized as a common characteristic of cloud computing services is that the supplier assumes the vendor's business risk associated with data processed by the supplier. This is not a characteristic of cloud computing services, but rather a contractual or legal issue that depends on the agreement between the supplier and the vendor. The supplier and the vendor may have different roles and responsibilities regarding the data processed by the supplier, such as controller, processor, or sub-processor, and they may have different obligations and liabilities under the applicable data protection laws, such as the GDPR. Therefore, the supplier does not necessarily assume the vendor's business risk associated with data processed by the supplier, unless it is explicitly agreed by the parties or required by the law.
