CLF-C02 Question 143
Single answerA company is planning to migrate its IT infrastructure to the cloud. While certain applications need to remain on-premises due to compliance requirements, other applications are being moved to AWS to take advantage of scalability and cost efficiency. Which deployment model is the company using?
- A
Cloud
- B
On-Premises
- C
Hybrid
- D
Multi-Cloud
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The Hybrid deployment model is the correct answer because it involves a combination of on-premises infrastructure and cloud services. In this scenario, the company retains certain applications on-premises for compliance while migrating others to AWS for scalability and cost efficiency, which aligns with the definition of a hybrid deployment model.
- A. Incorrect.
The 'Cloud' model refers to a deployment where all resources are hosted entirely in the cloud. This does not apply here since some applications remain on-premises.
- B. Incorrect.
The 'On-Premises' model involves hosting all infrastructure entirely on local data centers. This does not apply since part of the infrastructure is moving to AWS.
- C. Correct.
The 'Hybrid' model combines on-premises infrastructure with cloud resources, which matches the company's scenario as it retains some applications on-premises while migrating others to AWS.
- D. Incorrect.
The 'Multi-Cloud' model refers to using multiple cloud service providers simultaneously. This does not apply since the question only mentions AWS as the cloud provider.
