CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 780

Several universities are participating in a collaborative research project and need to share compute and storage resources. Which of the following cloud deployment strategies would BEST meet this need?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The community cloud deployment model is designed for organizations with shared interests, such as universities collaborating on research. This model allows them to share resources securely and efficiently. In contrast, a private cloud is exclusive to one organization, a public cloud is available to anyone, and a hybrid cloud combines both but may not specifically cater to the collaborative needs of the universities.
