CV0-004 Cloud Architecture and Design Practice Question
A financial services firm requires a cloud deployment that keeps sensitive customer data on-premises while bursting compute-intensive risk analysis workloads to a public cloud during peak times. Which deployment model best meets this requirement?
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, enabling data residency and burst capacity.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Hybrid cloud
Why this is correct
Correct. Hybrid cloud allows data to remain on-premises while bursting workloads to public cloud.
- ✗
Public cloud
Why it's wrong here
Public cloud would store all data off-premises, which may not satisfy data residency requirements.
- ✗
Multi-cloud
Why it's wrong here
A multi-cloud model distributes workloads across multiple public cloud providers, but it does not inherently include an on-premises component for sensitive data. The requirement for keeping customer data on-premises while bursting to a public cloud is specifically met by a hybrid cloud, which connects local infrastructure to a single public cloud. Multi-cloud is tempting because it offers vendor diversity and avoids lock-in, and would be correct if the firm needed to spread risk analysis across AWS and Microsoft Azure for resilience.
- ✗
Private cloud
Why it's wrong here
Private cloud alone cannot provide burst capacity from a public cloud.
