We've already talked about the RFI process in the previous chapter, so we won't rehash the specifics here. However, note that the 18 critical questions prior are also addressed, along with many others, in the cloud computing RFI questions posed in Appendix 3. Like the list of RFI questions to ask of MSSPs, the cloud computing RFI questions represent a thorough list of potential questions to ask of a cloud provider. Your lab will still want to keep any RFI derived from those questions succinct in order to get the most responses, keeping in mind that it doesn't need to address every question but rather have enough critical questions to narrow down your search to a few quality candidates. From there, you can return to the RFI questions and ask more pointed ones of those candidates you narrowed your list down to.

The format of the questions is the same as those found in the MSSP RFI, and there's even some crossover in several cases.
