Which of the following represents a control on the maximum amount of resources that a single customer, virtual machine, or application can consume within a cloud environment? 

Answer options:

A. Share
B. Reservation
C. Provision
D. Limit

D

Limits are put in place to enforce a maximum on the amount of memory or processing a cloud customer can use. This can be done either on a virtual machine or as a comprehensive whole for a customer, and is meant to ensure that enormous cloud resources cannot be allocated or consumed by a single host or customer to the detriment of other hosts and customers.
