A global company is implementing a new cloud-based customer support platform. The project manager identifies a critical need to maintain strict regulatory compliance across various international jurisdictions, ensure data sovereignty, and provide low-latency access for users in different regions. Which cloud deployment strategy BEST addresses these complex requirements?
- ASingle-region deployment
- BHybrid cloud deployment
- CMulti-region deployment
- DPrivate cloud deployment
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Multi-region deployment
Multi-region deployment allows the company to deploy instances of the platform in different geographical regions, satisfying data sovereignty requirements by keeping data within specific borders, reducing latency for regional users, and aiding compliance with diverse international regulations.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Single-region deployment fails to address data sovereignty, low-latency for global users, or diverse regulatory compliance.
- B. Hybrid cloud combines public and private, but doesn't inherently address multi-region regulatory compliance or global latency for a single platform.
- D. Private cloud deployment keeps data entirely on-premise or in a dedicated environment, but doesn't inherently provide global low-latency access or easily address diverse international regulatory needs without significant global infrastructure.
Multi-Region Cloud Deployment
A cloud deployment strategy where an application or service is deployed across multiple distinct geographical regions within a cloud provider's infrastructure.
- Enhances disaster recovery and business continuity.
- Improves latency for globally distributed users.
- Facilitates compliance with data residency and sovereignty laws.
Memory trick: Multiple regions, multiple benefits for global reach.
