CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004)Cloud ArchitectureEasy
A cloud architect is designing a new application that will process sensitive financial data and requires strict isolation from other tenants. The application also needs to leverage existing virtualization management tools. Which cloud deployment model best meets these requirements?
- AHybrid Cloud
- BPrivate Cloud
- CPublic Cloud
- DCommunity Cloud
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Private Cloud
A private cloud offers the highest level of isolation and allows the use of existing virtualization management tools, which aligns with the strict isolation and existing tool requirements for sensitive financial data.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Hybrid clouds combine public and private, but the core requirement for strict isolation and existing tool leverage points to a fully private solution.
- C. Public clouds share resources among multiple tenants, which does not meet the strict isolation requirement.
- D. Community clouds share resources among specific organizations, but may not offer the same level of isolation or direct control over infrastructure as a private cloud.
Private Cloud
A cloud deployment model where the cloud infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization.
- Offers highest level of control and security.
- Can be managed internally or by a third party.
- Often used for sensitive data and regulatory compliance.
Memory trick: Private clouds are like your own secure, isolated office building.
