Introducing Cisco Data Center Networking (DCICN, legacy) — Question 36

Which statement is true about cloud deployment models?

Answer options

• A. A public cloud is typically infrastructure used by a single organization.
• B. Public clouds are more expensive than private clouds.
• C. Hybrid cloud supports multiple organizations sharing computing resources that are part of a community.
• D. Public clouds are less secure than private clouds.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because hybrid cloud models indeed enable multiple organizations to share resources while being part of a community. Option A incorrectly defines public clouds as single-organization infrastructure. Option B misrepresents the cost comparison, as public clouds are usually more cost-effective. Option D is misleading because the security of public clouds can vary significantly and does not inherently make them less secure than private clouds.
