CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002)Cloud ConceptsEasy
A company is considering migrating its entire on-premises data center to a public cloud. They are concerned about the security of their highly sensitive data and want to ensure they retain full control over the underlying infrastructure, including networking and virtualization. Which cloud deployment model would be most appropriate for this scenario?
- ACommunity Cloud
- BPrivate Cloud
- CPublic Cloud
- DHybrid Cloud
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Private Cloud
A private cloud offers dedicated infrastructure for a single organization, providing maximum control over security, networking, and the underlying infrastructure. This aligns with the company's need for full control over highly sensitive data.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Community cloud shares infrastructure among several organizations with common concerns, which still involves sharing and less exclusive control than a private cloud.
- C. Public cloud involves shared infrastructure and less control over the underlying components, which doesn't meet the requirement for full control over sensitive data.
- D. Hybrid cloud combines public and private clouds, meaning some infrastructure would still be shared or managed by a third party, not offering full control over all aspects.
Private Cloud
A cloud deployment model where the cloud infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization, offering greater control and security.
- Dedicated infrastructure for one organization.
- Highest level of control and security.
- Can be on-premises or hosted by a third party.
Memory trick: PUBLIC PRIVATE HYBRID COMMUNITIES.
