The multi-tenant nature of cloud computing refers to the model where multiple cloud customers share a common pool of resources (such as computing power, storage, etc.), but each customer's data and applications are segregated and isolated from the others to ensure privacy, security, and independent performance. This approach allows cloud providers to efficiently use resources while ensuring that each tenant's environment is protected and operates independently.

Compliance inheritance refers to the practice in cloud compliance where a customer leverages a set of pre-approved regulatory or standards-based controls that have been established and validated by a compliant cloud provider. Essentially, the cloud provider implements these controls, and the customer inherits the provider's compliance framework to meet their own regulatory requirements. This allows customers to benefit from the provider’s compliance efforts without having to implement everything themselves.

Automated compliance refers to automating compliance tasks and processes but does not describe the practice of inheriting compliance controls. Attestation inheritance is not a standard term used in cloud compliance; attestation typically refers to formally certifying or declaring compliance. Audit inheritance would relate to the inheritance of audit reports or records, but it doesn't describe the broader process of inheriting compliance controls.

The principle of least privilege limits access to only necessary permissions, reducing the risk of misuse and exposure of sensitive data. Reference: [CCSK v5 Curriculum, Domain 5 - IAM]

In the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model, the cloud provider delivers the basic infrastructure components such as virtual machines, storage, and networking resources. However, the customer is responsible for managing the operating system, applications, and any software configurations that run on the infrastructure. This gives the customer more control over the environment while still benefiting from the cloud provider's hardware and scalability.

The provider manages the operating system, runtime, and infrastructure, and the customer is only responsible for managing the applications. NaaS focuses on network services, not the management of operating systems and applications. The provider manages everything, including the operating system and applications, and the customer simply uses the software.

DNS logs capture information on domain name resolution, while Flow logs capture details about network traffic, including source, destination, and protocol. Reference: [CCSK Study Guide, Domain 7 - Infrastructure & Networking]

The principle of Segregation of Duties (SoD) focuses on implementing multiple security layers by dividing responsibilities among different individuals or systems to ensure that no single entity has enough control to misuse or compromise access. This principle helps to prevent fraud, error, and misuse by ensuring that critical tasks are divided and that sensitive actions require multiple people or processes to perform, adding an extra layer of security.

Continuous Monitoring refers to the ongoing observation of activities to detect unusual behavior, but it is not directly about diluting access power. Federation involves linking multiple identity management systems together to allow access across different domains but does not specifically address limiting access power through multiple security layers. Principle of Least Privilege ensures that users have only the minimum necessary access to perform their tasks, but it does not directly involve dividing duties or responsibilities.
