CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-003) — Question 124

An organization is evaluating options related to moving organizational assets to a cloud-based environment using an IaaS provider. One engineer has suggested connecting a second cloud environment within the organization's existing facilities to capitalize on available datacenter space and resources. Other project team members are concerned about such a commitment of organizational assets, and ask the Chief Security Officer (CSO) for input. The CSO explains that the project team should work with the engineer to evaluate the risks associated with using the datacenter to implement:

Answer options

• A. a hybrid cloud.
• B. an on-premises private cloud.
• C. a hosted hybrid cloud.
• D. a private cloud.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, a hosted hybrid cloud, as it involves leveraging both on-premises resources and cloud services, which aligns with the engineer's suggestion. The other options do not fully utilize the existing datacenter resources in conjunction with a cloud provider, making them less suitable for the organization's needs in this scenario.
