Which of the following is the dominant driver behind the regulations to which a system or application must adhere?

AData source

BLocality

CContract

DSLA

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The locality--or physical location and jurisdiction where the system or data resides--is the dominant driver of regulations. This may be based on the type of data contained within the application or the way in which the data is used. The contract and SLA both articulate requirements for regulatory compliance and the responsibilities for the cloud provider and cloud customer, but neither artifact defines the actual requirements. Instead, the contract and SLA merely form the official documentation between the cloud provider and cloud customer. The source of the data may place contractual requirements or best practice guidelines on its usage, but ultimately jurisdiction has legal force and greater authority.

Really? I’m not convinced locality is the dominant factor.

I remember discussing data sources in class, but I don't think they are the dominant driver. Maybe it's locality after all?

I feel like SLA could be important too, but I can't recall if it's the main driver. This is tricky!

I practiced a similar question where contract obligations were emphasized, so I'm leaning towards option C.

I think the dominant driver might be locality, but I'm not entirely sure. I remember something about how regulations can vary by region.

Okay, I think I've got this. I'll need to focus on the comparison operators and the order of operations to figure out which option is correct.

I remember a similar question where the focus was on the accuracy of financial records. B makes sense, but I think it's more than just that.

I remember learning about this in class, but I'm drawing a blank right now. Let me think it through step-by-step. I'll go with option A to be safe.
