Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 370

An engineer is designing a cloud solution for an organization. The security requirements mandate that the cloud must be hosted in a local data center but leverage the remote data center for remote backups. Additionally, the workloads in the data center must be scaled out to a known cloud provider in the future. Which cloud deployment model must be used to meet these requirements?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The hybrid cloud model is the correct choice because it combines both local and remote resources, allowing for local data center operations and remote backups. A public cloud would not meet the local hosting requirement, while a private cloud does not utilize remote resources for backups. Edge cloud is focused on processing data closer to the source rather than meeting the outlined cloud deployment needs.
