Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) Practice Exam

The choice that suggests increased overall security of physical assets is indeed not typically viewed as a benefit of using cloud services. While cloud providers implement robust security measures to protect their data centers and the infrastructure they manage, the security of physical assets such as servers and hardware is primarily the responsibility of the cloud provider, not the user.

In contrast, many cloud services help organizations reduce the burden of managing physical infrastructure. They enable users to focus on their core business by offloading management tasks to the cloud provider, which typically results in less time and resources spent on infrastructure management.

Moreover, scalable resources according to demand is a fundamental advantage of cloud computing. It allows businesses to easily adjust their resource utilization based on their needs, without the need for significant upfront investment in hardware.

Cost efficiency through shared resources is another significant benefit of cloud services. The model allows multiple customers to share the same physical resources while only paying for what they use, leading to reduced costs compared to maintaining on-premises infrastructure.

Therefore, while cloud services enhance security measures in many ways, they do not fundamentally increase the security of physical assets in the same way that the other benefits directly impact the user experience and management of IT resources.
