SC-100 Certification Practice Question #195

Question

You have an Azure subscription that uses Microsoft Defender for Cloud.

You have Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) subscriptions.

You create a custom security standard in Defender for Cloud.

To which subscriptions can the Defender for Cloud standard be applied?

Accepted Answer

Defender for Cloud's multicloud support for custom security standards and recommendations covers exactly three clouds: Azure, AWS, and GCP. The MS Learn "Create custom standards and recommendations" page states recommendations are defined for "Azure subscriptions, Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) projects," and explicitly supports creating custom recommendations "for all clouds (Azure, AWS, and GCP)." Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is not a connectable Defender for Cloud environment, eliminating D and E. B omits AWS and is therefore wrong despite holding the lone (single-vote) Most Voted marker; A omits GCP. Although the community Most Voted is B, it conflicts with the official Suggested Answer C and is decisively refuted by MS Learn, so C wins and the dissent only mildly lowers confidence to 90.
