CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 81

A financial services company is considering its options for moving its infrastructure to the cloud. The company runs its critical database on a proprietary legacy mainframe, which cannot be hosted anywhere but in the data center. However, the company would like to migrate portions of the infrastructure to an external provider. Which of the following cloud deployment models would be the BEST option?

Answer options

• A. Private
• B. Public
• C. Community
• D. Hybrid

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Hybrid model is the best choice as it allows the company to keep its critical database on-premises while also utilizing cloud resources for other parts of its infrastructure. The Private model would restrict the company's ability to use external cloud services, while the Public and Community models would not accommodate the requirement of keeping the legacy system on-site.
