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

Match each business scenario to its corresponding cloud deployment model.

  • A hospital hosts its public scheduling portal on Azure Web Apps and utilizes Azure Arc to manage databases running on dedicated physical servers in the hospital's own datacenter.Hybrid cloud
  • An online gaming platform deploys its matchmaking service on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and its global player database on Google Cloud Spanner, without utilizing any on-premises hardware.Multi-cloud
  • A national security agency hosts its databases on dedicated, physically isolated hardware managed by a third-party provider in a restricted facility, ensuring no other customer workloads share the infrastructure.Private cloud
  • An analytics firm runs big data query workloads using Azure Synapse Analytics serverless pools, where the underlying physical hardware is dynamically shared with other organizations.Public cloud

Answer

Match the hospital using Azure Web Apps and local servers to Hybrid cloud; match the gaming platform using Azure AKS and GCP Spanner to Multi-cloud; match the national security agency using isolated hardware managed by a third party to Private cloud; and match the analytics firm using shared Synapse pools to Public cloud.
The correct matches align with the definitions of cloud models: combining public cloud and on-premises is Hybrid cloud; using multiple public cloud providers is Multi-cloud; using isolated, dedicated resources (even third-party hosted) is Private cloud; and using shared resources from a cloud provider is Public cloud.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the hospital scenario (left_1).
It combines Azure Web Apps (public cloud) with physical servers in the hospital's datacenter (on-premises/private).
Identifying the combination of public cloud and private/on-premises resources determines a hybrid cloud deployment.
2
Analyze the gaming platform scenario (left_2).
It distributes workloads across Microsoft Azure (AKS) and Google Cloud (Spanner) without any on-premises footprint.
Identifying the use of multiple public cloud providers without on-premises integration determines a multi-cloud deployment.
3
Analyze the national security agency scenario (left_3).
It uses physically isolated, dedicated hardware owned/managed by a third-party hoster for exclusive access.
Identifying that the environment is single-tenant and isolated (regardless of location) determines a private cloud deployment.
4
Analyze the analytics firm scenario (left_4).
It runs serverless queries where hardware resources are dynamically shared across multiple clients.
Identifying dynamic resource sharing (multi-tenancy) provided by a cloud vendor determines a public cloud deployment.
