Hotspot Question For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Question

Exhibit

Answer Area

• Cloud computing delivers software on demand.
• Cloud computing provides backup and recovery.
• Cloud computing enables low-cost infrastructure scaling.

Explanation

All three statements accurately describe fundamental benefits and service models of cloud computing.

Approach. Select 'Yes' for all statements. 1) Cloud computing delivers software on demand via the Software as a Service (SaaS) model. 2) It provides backup and recovery through native, highly available, and geo-redundant cloud storage services. 3) It enables low-cost infrastructure scaling by allowing users to dynamically add or remove resources (elasticity) and only pay for what they consume (OpEx model), avoiding expensive upfront physical hardware costs (CapEx).

Common mistakes.

• common_mistake. Selecting 'No' for any option stems from legacy on-premises thinking. For example, assuming software must always be locally installed, failing to recognize built-in cloud redundancy solutions, or mistaking the recurring operational costs of the cloud for being inherently more expensive than scaling physical hardware, thereby ignoring the cost-efficiency of elasticity.
