A. B. C. D.B.
A reservation guarantees to a cloud customer that they will have access to a minimal level of resources to run their systems, which will help mitigate against DoS attacks or systems that consume high levels of resources.
A limit refers to the enforcement of a maximum level of resources that can be consumed by or allocated to a cloud customer, service, or system.
Both guarantee and assurance are terms that sound similar to reservation, but they are not correct choices.
The correct answer is B. Reservation.
When a company needs to guarantee that a cloud provider will always have sufficient resources available to start their services and provide a certain level of provisioning, they can use a reservation. A reservation is a commitment by a cloud provider to always have a certain amount of resources available for a customer's use, regardless of demand from other customers.
Reservations can be used to guarantee specific types of resources, such as virtual machine instances, storage, or network bandwidth. They can also be used to guarantee specific levels of service, such as response times or uptime guarantees. Reservations are typically established through a contract and SLA with the cloud provider.
In contrast, limits are restrictions on the amount of resources that can be used by a customer. Assurance refers to a general sense of confidence or trust in a cloud provider's ability to meet a customer's needs. Guarantee is a term that can refer to a specific commitment by a cloud provider, but it is not as precise as reservation.
