A company wants to keep a confidential system in its on-premises environment while running some workloads on AWS and connecting both environments to work together. Which deployment model describes this approach?
A question asking for the name of the deployment model that connects and integrates on-premises and cloud environments.
On-premises model
An on-premises-only model means all systems are operated in the company's own environment, with no use of cloud services.
This question describes running some workloads on AWS and connecting both environments, which does not match an on-premises-only description, so this is incorrect.
Cloud-native (all-in) model
A cloud-native model means all workloads are built and operated in the cloud.
This question keeps the on-premises environment and connects it to cloud, which does not fit an all-in cloud description, so this is incorrect.
Hybrid cloud model
Correct. A hybrid cloud model connects on-premises infrastructure and cloud environments so they work together. It allows a company to keep confidential systems or existing assets on-premises while running scalable workloads in the cloud. The connection is established via VPN or Direct Connect.
Multi-cloud only model
Multi-cloud refers to a model that uses multiple cloud providers simultaneously.
This question is about connecting on-premises and cloud environments, not about using multiple cloud providers, so this is incorrect.
Three deployment models: cloud (all-in) / hybrid (on-premises + cloud connected) / on-premises. 'Retain on-premises and connect' equals hybrid; the connection method is VPN or Direct Connect.
