CLF-C02 Question 141
Single answerA company is considering moving its IT infrastructure to the cloud. They want to keep some critical workloads in their on-premises data center due to regulatory requirements while leveraging the cloud for scalability and cost-efficiency. Which deployment model best suits this scenario?
- A
Cloud
- B
On-premises
- C
Hybrid
- D
Multi-cloud
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The hybrid deployment model is the most appropriate for this scenario because it allows the company to maintain critical workloads on-premises while leveraging the cloud for other workloads. This approach balances regulatory compliance with the flexibility and cost benefits of cloud services.
- A. Incorrect.
The cloud deployment model involves running all workloads and resources entirely on cloud platforms, which would not meet the requirement of keeping critical workloads on-premises.
- B. Incorrect.
The on-premises deployment model involves hosting all workloads in a private data center. This does not allow the company to leverage the scalability and cost-efficiency of the cloud.
- C. Correct.
The hybrid deployment model combines on-premises infrastructure with cloud services, allowing the company to meet regulatory requirements while benefiting from cloud scalability. This makes it the best fit for the given scenario.
- D. Incorrect.
Multi-cloud involves using multiple cloud providers simultaneously but does not address the need to keep certain workloads on-premises.
