Question 1 of 10

Which statement defines a public cloud?

1. AAn organization interconnects public and private cloud environments.
2. BA third-party cloud provider builds, controls, and maintains the environment.
3. CA single entity uses resources dedicated to that organization.
4. DAn organization maintains hardware in its dedicated on-site datacenter.

Question 2 of 10

What characterizes the private deployment model?

1. AAnyone who wants to purchase services can access the provider's cloud resources.
2. BA single entity uses a cloud environment with resources dedicated to one organization.
3. CAn organization connects a provider's public environment to its private environment.
4. DSeveral organizations share generally available resources maintained by a cloud provider.

Question 3 of 10

What makes a cloud deployment hybrid?

1. AIt uses public and private clouds in an interconnected environment.
2. BIt consists entirely of resources dedicated to one organization.
3. CIt consists entirely of generally available third-party resources.
4. DIt requires the organization to run every resource in its on-site datacenter.

Question 4 of 10

Which requirement is an appropriate reason to select public cloud?

1. AMaintain complete control over resources and prevent data collocation with other tenants.
2. BProvision and deprovision applications quickly without capital expenditure for scaling.
3. CInterconnect an existing private environment with public resources for temporary demand.
4. DKeep resources dedicated to one entity and purchase the supporting hardware.

Question 5 of 10

A company accepts hardware purchase and maintenance in exchange for dedicated resources and greater security control. Which model fits these priorities?

1. AHybrid cloud with placement across public and private environments
2. BPublic cloud with scaling that avoids capital expenditure
3. CPublic cloud with resources generally available to purchasers
4. DPrivate cloud with resources dedicated to the company

Question 6 of 10

An organization wants to choose which services remain private and which run in public cloud to address compliance requirements. Which model fits?

1. APrivate cloud, because it includes generally available public resources by definition
2. BPublic cloud, because it keeps every service on hardware dedicated to one entity
3. CHybrid cloud, because it supports deliberate placement across connected environments
4. DPublic cloud, because it gives the organization complete control over all resources

Question 7 of 10

Which cloud model can let a private cloud handle increased temporary demand by deploying public-cloud resources?

1. APrivate cloud isolated in a dedicated off-site datacenter
2. BPrivate cloud operating without any public resources
3. CHybrid cloud connecting private capacity to temporary public resources
4. DPublic cloud operating without any private resources

Question 8 of 10

A new application needs provider-operated resources that can be provisioned and removed quickly. The organization has no requirement for dedicated private resources and wants to scale without buying hardware. Which model should it select?

1. APrivate cloud, purchasing dedicated hardware to gain complete infrastructure control
2. BPublic cloud, using generally available resources without capital expenditure for scaling
3. CPrivate cloud, hosting dedicated resources on-site and maintaining the hardware
4. DHybrid cloud, retaining a private environment and connecting public resources to it

Question 9 of 10

A company requires resources dedicated to that company and does not want its data collocated with other tenants' data. It accepts hardware costs but asks a third party to host the dedicated environment off-site. Which model is this?

1. APublic cloud, because third-party hosting makes the resources generally available
2. BPublic cloud, because dedicated resources eliminate the private-cloud hardware responsibility
3. CPrivate cloud, because dedicated off-site hosting can still serve one entity
4. DHybrid cloud, because every off-site environment includes a public cloud component

Question 10 of 10

An organization keeps a regulated application in its private cloud. During a short demand spike, it wants to add connected public-cloud capacity without abandoning the private environment. Which model should the architect choose?

1. AHybrid cloud, extending the private environment with temporary public resources
2. BPublic cloud, replacing the private environment with provider-operated capacity
3. CPrivate cloud, handling the spike without deploying any connected public resources
4. DPublic cloud, moving the regulated application entirely to generally available resources
