Microsoft Azure Fundamentals — Question 144

You plan to migrate several servers from an on-premises network to Azure.
What is an advantage of using a public cloud service for the servers over an on-premises network?

Answer options

• A. The public cloud is owned by the public, NOT a private corporation
• B. The public cloud is a crowd-sourcing solution that provides corporations with the ability to enhance the cloud
• C. All public cloud resources can be freely accessed by every member of the public
• D. The public cloud is a shared entity whereby multiple corporations each use a portion of the resources in the cloud

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a public cloud allows multiple organizations to share infrastructure, leading to cost savings and scalability. Options A and C are misleading as they imply ownership and access that do not reflect the actual nature of public clouds. Option B misrepresents public cloud functionality as crowd-sourcing, which is not accurate.
