CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 156

A company runs Linux servers in its own datacenter and also on a popular public cloud service provider. The servers hosted by the cloud provider can only be accessed with proper authorization and are only accessed by the company's datacenter. Which of the following BEST describes the type of cloud architecture being used? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Private
• B. Hybrid
• C. Public
• D. IaaS
• E. PaaS
• F. SaaS

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answers are B (Hybrid) and D (IaaS). A Hybrid architecture is indicated because the company uses both on-premises servers and cloud services, while IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) is accurate as the cloud provider offers infrastructure resources that the company can manage and scale. The other options do not fully capture the combination of on-premises and cloud services utilized by the company.
