Cloud Deployment Models Questions and Answers

Answer: C

The first two are correct. The third is far from so, since public cloud dominates by a very large margin and community cloud remains a specialised arrangement. Shared compliance is its usual driver. Public cloud dominates by a very wide margin.

Answer: D

Correct answer: which jurisdiction's laws apply to data

Data sovereignty is the question of which country’s law governs data - who may compel its disclosure, what protections apply, and whether it may cross a border at all. It drives real architectural decisions, since a requirement to keep data within a jurisdiction constrains which regions may be used and often which providers.

Answer: A

Both are true and the reason gives the distinction, and data may satisfy a residency requirement while still being reachable under a foreign jurisdiction's legal process. The two requirements must be checked separately.

Answer: B

Correct answer: False

Location is one factor and not the only one. A provider incorporated elsewhere may be subject to its home jurisdiction’s compulsory process regardless of where the servers stand - the position the United States CLOUD Act makes explicit - and the customer’s own domicile and contracts add further reach. Residency is therefore necessary for many compliance regimes and not by itself sufficient.

Answer: C

Processing near the source avoids the round trip to a distant region. Industrial control and vehicle systems are typical cases where the latency budget leaves no room for a long journey. Connectivity may also be intermittent.

Answer: D

Placement is an architectural decision driven by latency, regulation and resilience together. Very few workloads are indifferent to all three. Placement follows from the requirements. Latency, law and resilience all bear on it.

Answer: A

Rapid scaling beyond what is owned is precisely what on-premises cannot do. The other three are the three usual reasons a workload stays. Elasticity is what on-premises lacks. Capacity beyond what is bought is unavailable.

Answer: B

Two deployment models bound together by the movement of data is exactly the hybrid definition. The proportions do not matter to the classification. The binding between them is what counts. Proportions play no part in the definition.

Answer: C

Once data and dependencies have accumulated, the cost of leaving rises steadily. Considering it early shapes the architecture in ways that keep the option open. Leverage is greatest at the start. Dependencies are cheapest to avoid before they exist.

Answer: D

Both are true and the reason gives both drivers, and data egress charges in particular make a large accumulated volume expensive to move anywhere. Dependencies accumulate too. Both effects work in the same direction over time.
