What term refers to keeping data consistent across different locations in a cloud environment?

Data integrity
Replication
Synchronization
Data sharing

The correct answer is: Synchronization

The term that refers to keeping data consistent across different locations in a cloud environment is synchronization. Synchronization involves ensuring that data is updated and consistent across multiple systems or locations, enabling users and applications to access the most current data regardless of where they are located. This process is essential in cloud environments where data may need to be mirrored across various site locations or made accessible in real-time to maintain operational consistency and reliability. Data integrity primarily focuses on the accuracy and consistency of data within a single database or storage location, rather than across multiple locations. Replication involves creating copies of data at different locations but does not inherently guarantee that all copies remain consistent over time. Data sharing refers to the practice of making data accessible to different users or systems but does not specifically address the challenge of maintaining consistent versions of that data across multiple locations.
