CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-001) — Question 6

A company has decided to implement a third-party hosted service so that they have access to as many virtual instances as needed, for exclusive use. Which of the following types of services would this represent?

Answer options

• A. VPN
• B. Public cloud
• C. Private cloud
• D. VTP

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Private cloud, as it refers to a cloud infrastructure exclusively used by one organization. Options A (VPN) and D (VTP) are not types of cloud services, while B (Public cloud) implies shared resources among multiple users, which contradicts the exclusive use stated in the question.
