A European government passport agency considers upgrading its IT systems to increase performance and workload flexibility in response to constantly changing requirements. The budget manager wants to reduce capital expenses and IT staff and must adopt the lowest-cost technology. Which technology choice is suitable?

Answer options

• A. public cloud
• B. hybrid cloud
• C. on premises
• D. private cloud

Correct answer: A
