CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 97

A company is using a hybrid cloud environment. The private cloud is hosting the business applications, and the cloud services are being used to replicate for availability purposes. The cloud services are also being used to accommodate the additional resource requirements to provide continued services. Which of the following scalability models is the company utilizing?

Answer options

• A. Vertical scaling
• B. Autoscaling
• C. Cloud bursting
• D. Horizontal scaling

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Cloud bursting, which refers to using cloud services to handle peak loads by extending the resources of the private cloud. Vertical scaling (A) means increasing the resources of a single server, while horizontal scaling (D) involves adding more servers. Autoscaling (B) automatically adjusts resources based on demand but does not specifically address the hybrid model context presented.
