CV0-004 Migrating a web application to the cloud Practice Question
A company is migrating a web application to the cloud. The application requires low latency and high availability across multiple geographic regions. Which cloud deployment model BEST meets these requirements?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the misconception that hybrid cloud is always the best choice for multi-region deployments, but the trap here is that hybrid cloud adds unnecessary complexity and cost when the application can be fully served by the public cloud's native global infrastructure.

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
✓
Public cloud
The public cloud model is the best fit because it offers globally distributed infrastructure (e.g., AWS Regions, Azure Availability Zones) that enables low-latency access and high availability through multi-region deployment. Public cloud providers natively support global load balancing (e.g., AWS Global Accelerator, Azure Traffic Manager) and auto-scaling across regions, meeting the application's requirements without the capital expense of building private infrastructure.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Public cloud
Why this is correct
Public cloud providers have multiple regions worldwide, enabling low latency and HA.
- ✗
Private cloud
Why it's wrong here
Private cloud is typically single-tenant and may not have global presence.

Hybrid cloud
Why it's wrong here
Hybrid cloud combines public and private but may not guarantee global reach.
