CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 147

A new cloud infrastructure needs to meet the following requirements:
✑ Resources are accessible to internal and external clients.
✑ Existing hardware assets are utilized.
✑ Security controls are managed by company employees.
Which of the following deployment models BEST fit these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Public cloud using IPS
• B. Community cloud with IDS
• C. Private cloud with a DMZ
• D. Public cloud using PaaS

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a community cloud allows multiple organizations to share resources while maintaining control over security and using existing hardware. Options A and D refer to public clouds, which do not provide the necessary control over security. Option C, while it offers security, is a private cloud solution that may not fully meet the requirement of accessibility for external clients.
