CV0-004 Cloud Architecture and Design Practice Question
A cloud architect is evaluating cloud deployment models for a healthcare application that must comply with data sovereignty regulations. The solution must provide the lowest latency for users in North America and Europe, and must avoid vendor lock-in. Which TWO deployment models should the architect consider? (Choose two.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Multi-cloud
Multi-cloud uses multiple public clouds to avoid vendor lock-in and can place resources in North America and Europe. Hybrid cloud can keep sensitive data on-premises while using public cloud for compute, but does not directly address multiple regions; however, the combination of both can meet all requirements, but the question asks for TWO models. Multi-cloud and hybrid cloud together provide flexibility and compliance. However, given the options, the best two are multi-cloud and hybrid cloud. Note: The question says 'Which TWO' so exactly two correct.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Private cloud
Why it's wrong here
Private cloud does not provide low latency in multiple regions.
- ✓
Multi-cloud
Why this is correct
Multi-cloud can use multiple providers to avoid lock-in and place resources in different regions.
- ✗
Public cloud
Why it's wrong here
Public cloud alone may not satisfy data sovereignty if data must stay in specific regions? Actually it can, but does not avoid vendor lock-in.
- ✗
Community cloud
Why it's wrong here
Community cloud is shared by several organizations, not suitable for this scenario.
- ✓
Hybrid cloud
Why this is correct
Hybrid cloud can keep sensitive data on-premises and use public cloud for compute.
