Several county clinics share one cloud that was built for those clinics and is not offered to the public. Which cloud model is that?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The clinics built a clubhouse, and the public does not get a key. You call that a community cloud. A cloud anyone can rent, a mix of a private closet and a public provider, or a finished application is a different model than a cloud limited to this group.
Full Explanation
A community cloud is shared by a specific set of organizations with a common interest, and it is not a service the provider sells to the general public. These clinics match that model. A public cloud is offered for any customer to consume. Limiting the cloud to the county clinics is the opposite of public. Hybrid cloud combines an organization's own systems with a public cloud. Sharing among clinics does not by itself create that private-plus-public mix. Software as a service is a finished application. Reaching infrastructure over a network does not make the whole cloud one application. Exam caveat: someone still operates the community cloud, often a member or a contracted provider. Shared does not mean unmanaged. Operational check: confirm an unrelated company cannot subscribe, and confirm each clinic's workloads run in the shared cloud. Try a login from an unrelated organization and confirm it is refused. List the member clinics on the cloud record so membership stays explicit. Document who administers the shared cloud before the clinics go live.
