What is the order of 4C's in Cloud Native Security, starting with the layer that a user has the most control over?

The correct answer is D. Code -> Container -> Cluster -> Cloud. The 4Cs of Cloud Native Security, ordered from most control to least control for a user, are Code, Container, Cluster, and Cloud.

Question

What is the order of 4C’s in Cloud Native Security, starting with the layer that a user has the most control over?

Why each option

The 4Cs of Cloud Native Security, ordered from most control to least control for a user, are Code, Container, Cluster, and Cloud.

ACloud -> Container -> Cluster -> Code

This order is incorrect as it places Cloud first, which users generally have the least control over.

BCloud -> Container -> Cluster -> Code

This order is incorrect as it places Cloud first, which users generally have the least control over.

CCluster -> Container -> Code -> Cloud

This order is incorrect; users typically have more control over their code and containers than the entire cluster or cloud infrastructure.

DCode -> Container -> Cluster -> CloudCorrect

The 4Cs of Cloud Native Security, ordered from the layer a user has the most control over to the least, are Code, Container, Cluster, and Cloud. Users typically have the most control over their application code, followed by the containers they build, then the Kubernetes cluster they manage, and finally the underlying cloud infrastructure provider.
