CV0-004 Practice Question: Which THREE of the following are valid…
Which THREE of the following are valid considerations when selecting a cloud deployment model (public, private, hybrid)? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests that candidates confuse operational preferences (like programming languages) with architectural constraints, leading them to select C as a valid consideration when it is irrelevant to the deployment model decision.
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
✓
Regulatory compliance requirements.
Regulatory compliance requirements (A) are a primary consideration because certain industries (e.g., healthcare, finance) mandate data residency and privacy controls that may only be satisfied by a private or dedicated public cloud infrastructure. Budget and total cost of ownership (B) directly influence the choice between capital-intensive private cloud deployments and operational-expense-based public cloud services. Latency sensitivity (D) dictates whether an application requires on-premises private cloud resources to avoid network jitter and meet strict SLAs, or can tolerate the higher latency of a public cloud.
