Microsoft Azure Fundamentals — Question 428

What are two characteristics of the public cloud? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer options

• A. dedicated hardware
• B. unsecured connections
• C. limited storage
• D. metered pricing
• E. self-service management

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

The correct answers, D and E, highlight that public clouds typically use metered pricing based on usage and offer self-service management for users. In contrast, options A (dedicated hardware) and C (limited storage) do not accurately represent the public cloud's flexibility and scalability, while B (unsecured connections) is misleading as public clouds can provide secure connections.
