A city wants citizens' permit data hosted on internet-facing Microsoft Azure. Which cloud model does that describe?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Azure's everyday multi-tenant offering is public cloud: Microsoft's gear, shared platform, reached over the internet. Calling it "private" just because the data matters mixes up sensitivity with the model name. Home browsers do not magically make it hybrid either.
Full Explanation
Public cloud describes provider-owned infrastructure shared among multiple tenants and accessed over the internet. Placing municipal permit workloads on Microsoft Azure's multi-tenant services is a public-cloud pattern. Sensitivity of data influences controls and compliance choices, but it does not rename public cloud as private cloud by itself.
