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

An online education provider hosts its public-facing student portal and video streaming services on Microsoft Azure. The portal retrieves student grades and enrollment history from a database running on dedicated physical servers located in the provider's office building. Which cloud model is represented by this deployment?

  1. A
    A public cloud
  2. A hybrid cloudAnswer
  3. C
    A private cloud
  4. D
    Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Answer

A hybrid cloud
A hybrid cloud is correct because the deployment integrates public cloud services (Azure for hosting the portal and video streaming) with private, on-premises infrastructure (dedicated physical servers hosting the database).

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the deployment components in the scenario.
The scenario includes public cloud services (Microsoft Azure) and on-premises physical servers owned and managed by the provider.
To determine the cloud model, you must identify where the workloads and data are physically hosted.
2
Determine how these components are combined and interact.
The public cloud portal integrates with and retrieves data from the on-premises database.
A combination of public cloud and private/on-premises infrastructure that work together represents a hybrid cloud model.

Key Concept

Cloud deployment models define the ownership, accessibility, and location of cloud infrastructure. A hybrid cloud combines public and private cloud models.
