A cloud architect is designing a new application that will process sensitive customer data. They need to ensure that the application's runtime environment is isolated from other tenants and provides a dedicated, single-tenant infrastructure. Which cloud deployment model would best meet this requirement?
- AHybrid Cloud
- BCommunity Cloud
- CPrivate Cloud
- DPublic Cloud
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Private Cloud
A private cloud offers a dedicated, single-tenant environment, which provides the highest level of isolation and control, making it suitable for sensitive data applications. This directly addresses the requirement for isolated runtime and dedicated infrastructure.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Hybrid clouds combine public and private, but the question specifically asks for isolation of the application's runtime environment, which is best achieved in a private cloud segment.
- B. Community clouds are shared by specific organizations with common concerns, but still involve shared infrastructure, not dedicated single-tenant isolation for one organization's application.
- D. Public clouds are multi-tenant and do not offer dedicated, isolated infrastructure for a single customer.
Private Cloud
A cloud computing environment dedicated exclusively to a single organization, offering enhanced control, security, and isolation.
- Single-tenant architecture
- High level of control and customization
- Can be on-premises or hosted externally
Memory trick: Private Clouds are like your own private island for data.
