CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 448

A group of non-profit agencies wants to implement a cloud service to share resources with each other and minimize costs. Which of the following cloud deployment models BEST describes this type of effort?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Community, as it is designed for organizations with shared interests, such as non-profits, to collaborate and share resources. Option A, Public, is not suitable because it is open to all users, while B, Hybrid, involves a mix of private and public clouds that do not specifically address the needs of a community. Option D, Private, is dedicated to a single organization and does not facilitate the shared resource model desired by the non-profit agencies.
