Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 465

A development team must find a cloud deployment model to scale its new product to external and internal users. The team is small and the data is massive. The team wants high flexibility and higher security. Which application deployment model should the team use?

Answer options

• A. hybrid cloud
• B. edge
• C. public cloud
• D. private cloud

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The hybrid cloud model combines both public and private cloud resources, allowing for scalability while maintaining security for sensitive data. In contrast, the public cloud lacks the necessary security for sensitive information, the private cloud may not provide the flexibility needed for scaling, and the edge model is typically focused on processing data closer to the source rather than on scalability for cloud services.
