CV0-004 Cloud Architecture and Design Practice Question
A company wants to migrate a legacy application to the cloud. The application has a monolithic design and requires low-latency access to on-premises databases. The company needs to keep sensitive data on-premises due to regulatory compliance. Which cloud deployment model is most suitable?
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
✓
Hybrid cloud
Hybrid cloud connects on-premises infrastructure with public cloud, allowing the legacy app to run in the cloud while maintaining low-latency access to on-premises databases and keeping sensitive data on-premises. Public cloud alone would not allow data residency. Private cloud is on-premises only, missing cloud benefits. Multi-cloud involves multiple public clouds, which does not address the on-premises requirement.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown

- ✗
Public cloud
Why it's wrong here
Public cloud would require moving all data off-premises, violating compliance.
- ✓
Hybrid cloud
Why this is correct
Hybrid cloud allows workloads in public cloud with connectivity to on-premises resources, meeting latency and compliance needs.
- ✗
Multi-cloud
Why it's wrong here
Multi-cloud uses multiple public clouds but does not inherently connect to on-premises.
- ✗
Private cloud
Why it's wrong here
Private cloud is on-premises; it does not provide the scalability benefits of public cloud.
