Difficulty: MediumCloud Models (Public, Private, Hybrid, Multi-cloud)

A medical device manufacturer is designing an IT architecture. The plan is to host the public-facing marketing website on Microsoft Azure to minimize upfront capital costs and scale resources dynamically. However, due to strict regulatory compliance, all patient telemetry data must be stored and processed on dedicated, physical servers owned by the manufacturer inside their own secure facility.

Which cloud model represents this combined deployment strategy?

  1. Hybrid cloudAnswer
  2. B
    Public cloud
  3. C
    Software as a Service (SaaS)
  4. D
    Capital Expenditure (CapEx)

Answer

Hybrid cloud
The correct answer is the hybrid cloud. This model allows an organization to combine public cloud resources (such as Microsoft Azure for the marketing website) with private resources (such as dedicated on-premises servers for patient telemetry data), enabling control over sensitive data while benefiting from public cloud scale.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the resource requirements and ownership in the scenario.
The website uses Microsoft Azure (shared infrastructure owned by a cloud provider), and the patient telemetry data uses dedicated physical servers owned by the manufacturer.
Identifying the ownership and location of the infrastructure determines the component cloud deployment models involved.
2
Determine the cloud deployment model that combines these infrastructure types.
A model that integrates public cloud services with private on-premises infrastructure is defined as a hybrid cloud.
Matching the combined deployment environment to the definitions of public, private, and hybrid cloud models resolves the correct answer.

Key Concept

Cloud deployment models, specifically the integration of public cloud resources and on-premises private infrastructure.
