CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 115

A cloud architect is deploying a VM in a public IaaS cloud. The software that will be installed on the VM is not compatible with any of the OS versions in the system images offered by the IaaS vendor.
Which of the following is the BEST way to deploy a VM with the required OS?

Answer options

• A. Develop a VM image on an on-premises hypervisor and send it on a physical hard drive to the cloud provider's datacenter.
• B. Use a bare metal service instead of IaaS and verify that the bring-your-own OS feature is available.
• C. Develop a VM image on an on-premises hypervisor and upload it to the cloud via API.
• D. Host the server on premises and integrate it with the IaaS service using the hybrid cloud model.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as hosting the server on premises and integrating it with the IaaS service through a hybrid cloud model allows for complete control over the OS and software compatibility. Options A and C involve transferring images, which may not solve the compatibility issue. Option B suggests using bare metal, but it does not ensure compatibility with the required OS without additional verification.
