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

Five independent regional emergency medical service (EMS) agencies enter into a joint disaster response agreement. To coordinate real-time ambulance dispatching and shared medical supplies during multi-jurisdictional emergencies, the agencies jointly fund and access a cloud environment hosted by a third-party provider. Access is strictly limited to these five participating organizations under a shared regulatory compliance framework, and the general public cannot access the system. Which cloud deployment model is being utilized in this scenario?

  1. Community cloudAnswer
  2. B
    Private cloud
  3. C
    Public cloud
  4. D
    Hybrid cloud

Answer

Community cloud
The correct answer is Community cloud because the infrastructure is shared exclusively among a group of organizations (the five EMS agencies) that have shared operational goals, common compliance requirements, and joint governance, while keeping the platform closed to the public.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the organizational structure and access boundaries in the scenario.
Multiple independent agencies (five EMS organizations) share access to a single cloud platform.
Identifying whether one or multiple organizations use the infrastructure helps distinguish private from multi-organizational models.
2
Evaluate the shared requirements and access restrictions.
The infrastructure serves shared goals (disaster coordination) and shared compliance needs, with access strictly forbidden to the general public.
A multi-tenant environment exclusive to a specific group with shared mission requirements defines a community cloud.
3
Match the observed attributes against cloud deployment model definitions.
The scenario describes a Community Cloud model.
Unlike public (open to all), private (single organization), or hybrid (mixture of deployment types), a community cloud serves a specific coalition of organizations.
