Why each option
Cloud computing introduces policy compliance challenges because data may reside in third-party infrastructure across multiple jurisdictions, making it harder to enforce organizational and regulatory policies.
Cloud providers typically offer high availability SLAs and redundant infrastructure, which generally increases, not decreases, application processing availability.
Problem management processes can be adapted to cloud environments and are not inherently more difficult to implement than in traditional on-premises setups.
In a cloud environment, the organization relinquishes direct control over the physical infrastructure and may not have full visibility into where data is stored or how it is handled by the provider. This makes it difficult to guarantee adherence to internal governance policies and external regulations such as GDPR or HIPAA. Auditing, data sovereignty, and access control enforcement become more complex compared to fully on-premises environments.
Cloud computing's elasticity and on-demand scaling make it easier and faster to address server capacity issues, which is one of its primary business benefits.
