Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 502

A retail store is launching an online presence through their new application. The amount of end-user traffic on the application is expected to fluctuate depending on whether there are sales on or not. The application developer has decided to adopt an application-deployment model that allows them to leverage cloud bursting. Which deployment approach would allow cloud bursting?

Answer options

• A. local infrastructure
• B. edge computing
• C. on-premises
• D. hybrid

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, hybrid, because it combines both on-premises resources and cloud resources, allowing for cloud bursting to handle fluctuating traffic. The other options, such as local infrastructure, edge computing, and on-premises, do not provide the necessary flexibility to scale resources dynamically in response to varying demand.
