A hospital must store patient medical records on-premises to comply with strict data sovereignty regulations. However, they also want to use advanced analytics tools hosted on a public cloud platform. Which cloud deployment model best meets their needs?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Distractor review

Private cloud

A private cloud provides dedicated resources for a single organization, often on-premises, but does not integrate with public cloud services for analytics.

B

Distractor review

Public cloud

Using only a public cloud would require storing patient records off-premises, violating data sovereignty regulations.

C

Best answer

Hybrid cloud

Hybrid cloud combines on-premises and public cloud resources, enabling the hospital to keep sensitive data on-site while using public cloud analytics.

D

Distractor review

Community cloud

Community cloud is shared among several organizations with common concerns (e.g., healthcare providers), but it does not inherently provide a split between on-premises and public cloud for data sovereignty.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic

NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
  • PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
  • Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
  • NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.

TExam Day Tips

  • Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
  • Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
  • Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this MS-900 question test?

Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Hybrid cloud — A hybrid cloud environment connects an organization's on-premises infrastructure (or private cloud) with public cloud services. This allows the hospital to maintain control over sensitive data while leveraging public cloud analytics tools, meeting both compliance and functional requirements.
