CV0-003 · Question #191

Which of the following is a difference between cloud computing and visualization when implementing IaaS?

The correct answer is D. Cloud computing may use visualization, while visualization does not require cloud services. Cloud computing can leverage virtualization as an underlying technology, but virtualization is a standalone concept that can exist entirely on-premises without any cloud involvement.

Why each option

Cloud computing can leverage virtualization as an underlying technology, but virtualization is a standalone concept that can exist entirely on-premises without any cloud involvement.

AAll hardware is maintained on-site by current IT staff and managers

IaaS cloud models move hardware management to the cloud provider, so on-site hardware maintenance by IT staff is reduced or eliminated, making this the opposite of correct.

BBoth a cloud and a virtual solution will provide additional programmers for application

Neither cloud nor virtualization inherently provides additional application programmers; staffing is a separate organizational decision unrelated to either technology model.

CBoxed, retail versions of office suite software must be used for consistent licensing

Cloud licensing typically involves subscription or volume agreements, not a requirement for boxed retail software, making this factually incorrect.

DCloud computing may use visualization, while visualization does not require cloud servicesCorrect

Virtualization is a technology that abstracts hardware resources and can be deployed entirely within a private, on-premises data center without any cloud provider. Cloud computing, by contrast, typically relies on virtualization to pool and allocate resources dynamically across tenants. This means cloud implies virtualization, but virtualization does not imply cloud.
