Characteristics of public cloud include: B. Lower total cost of ownership: Public cloud services often lead to lower total cost of ownership (TCO) due to shared resources, economies of scale, and the cloud provider managing the infrastructure, which reduces the IT overhead for customers. D. Multitenant server: Public cloud environments typically employ a multitenancy architecture, where a single instance of software and its supporting infrastructure serves multiple customers. Each customer shares the underlying infrastructure, but their data is kept separate.

In the asset master record within SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, time-dependent changes can be entered for fields such as 'Cost center', 'Plant', and 'WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) element'. These fields may require updates over the asset's life due to operational changes, reorganizations, or project progress. Time-dependency allows for historical tracking and future planning of these attributes, ensuring that asset-related transactions and reports accurately reflect the asset's association with different organizational units and projects over time.
