200-901 Question 105
Select 2A company is deploying a hybrid cloud architecture to extend its on-premises data center capabilities. They also plan to implement edge computing to process data closer to the source for latency-sensitive applications. Which two benefits does this approach provide?
- A
Reduced latency for real-time applications by processing data closer to the source
- B
Elimination of on-premises infrastructure to fully rely on public cloud resources
- C
Improved scalability by leveraging both on-premises and cloud resources
- D
Enhanced security by avoiding data transmission over public networks
- E
Simplified management by centralizing all resources in a single environment
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
The correct answers highlight the key benefits of hybrid cloud and edge computing. Edge computing reduces latency by processing data closer to the source, making it ideal for real-time applications. Hybrid cloud architecture improves scalability by enabling the use of both on-premises and cloud resources, providing flexibility to handle varying workloads. However, hybrid cloud and edge computing do not eliminate on-premises infrastructure, inherently enhance security, or simplify management, as these require additional planning and tools.
- A. Correct.
This is correct because edge computing allows data to be processed closer to the source, reducing latency for real-time applications.
- B. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because a hybrid cloud architecture involves maintaining on-premises infrastructure alongside cloud resources, not eliminating it.
- C. Correct.
This is correct because hybrid cloud provides scalability by allowing organizations to use both on-premises and cloud resources as needed.
- D. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because hybrid cloud and edge computing do not inherently avoid data transmission over public networks; security measures must still be implemented.
- E. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because hybrid cloud and edge computing often increase management complexity due to the need to manage resources across multiple environments.
