Question

Difficulty: EasyCloud Deployment Models (Public, Private, Hybrid, Community)

A network administrator is evaluating cloud infrastructure models to ensure specific security and control requirements are met for an enterprise environment. Which of the following TWO statements accurately describe characteristics of a private cloud deployment model? (Select TWO.)

  1. The infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization comprising multiple business units.Answer
  2. The infrastructure may be owned, managed, and operated by the organization, a third party, or a combination of both.Answer
  3. C
    The infrastructure is provisioned for open consumption by the general public over a public network.
  4. D
    The hardware resources are shared exclusively among multiple independent organizations with shared regulatory concerns.

Answer

The statement specifying that infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization, and the statement noting that ownership and management can be handled by the organization or a third party, are correct.
A private cloud model is characterized by dedicated infrastructure provisioned exclusively for one organization. Additionally, private clouds are flexible in hosting locations and operational responsibility—they can be managed on-premises by internal IT staff or hosted off-premises by a third-party service provider.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the core definition of a private cloud deployment model.
Identify that single-tenant exclusivity is the defining boundary of a private cloud.
Private clouds guarantee dedicated hardware and logical resources to one organization.
2
Evaluate hosting and management flexibility for private clouds.
Determine that private clouds can be hosted on-premises or off-premises by third parties.
Location and operational management do not dictate the deployment model; single tenancy does.
