CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 434

A company's data center is hosted at its corporate office to ensure greater control over the security of sensitive data. During times when there are increased workloads, some of the company's non-sensitive data is shifted to an external cloud provider. Which of the following cloud deployment models does this describe?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Hybrid, because it combines both on-premises infrastructure and public cloud services, allowing for flexibility during high-demand periods. The other options do not fit because Community refers to shared infrastructure among multiple organizations, Public involves entirely third-party managed resources, and Private indicates exclusive use by a single organization without external resources.
