This cloud infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization comprising multiple consumers, and may exist on- or off-premises. What type of cloud is this?

  1. Community Cloud

  2. Hybrid Cloud

  3. Private Cloud

  4. Public Cloud

The correct answer is: Private Cloud

A private cloud is designed to be used by a single organization, ensuring exclusive use by multiple consumers. This type of cloud infrastructure can be located on-premises or off-premises, providing dedicated resources and enhanced security controls tailored to the specific needs and requirements of the organization. Option A, a community cloud, is a shared infrastructure that is provisioned for exclusive use by a specific community of consumers from organizations that have shared concerns (e.g., mission, security requirements, policy, and compliance considerations). Option B, a hybrid cloud, combines both private and public cloud deployment models, allowing data and applications to be shared between them. Option D, a public cloud, provides shared resources and services to the general public or a large industry group over the internet.
