cloud services - quiz 1/3
which of the following best describes what the cloud is?
when our data is stored or processed by systems in our internal network
when our data is stored or processed by authorized contractors
when our data is stored or processed by an outside service provider
submit answer next question

Explanation:

To determine the correct description of the Cloud, we analyze each option:

1. The first option refers to data processing/storage in an internal network, which is not cloud computing (cloud uses external services).
2. The second option mentions authorized contractors, but cloud computing is about outside service providers (not limited to contractors) providing storage/processing.
3. The third option aligns with the definition of cloud computing: data is stored or processed by an outside (third - party) service provider over the internet.

Answer:

C. When our data is stored or processed by an outside service provider
