A company runs its cloud platform on servers in its own building, and no other company is a customer of that cloud. Which model is that?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The cloud lives in the company's own building and the guest list has only one name. You call that a private cloud. A service anyone can buy, a club shared by several organizations, or a mix with a public provider would look different from this single-tenant closet.
Full Explanation
A private cloud is operated for one organization, which can run it in that organization's own building. No other company is a customer here, so the model is private. A public cloud is offered to many unrelated customers by a provider. Owning the building does not make a single-tenant platform public. A community cloud is shared by a group of organizations with a common interest. One company is not a community of companies. Hybrid cloud uses both a private environment and a public provider together. A cloud that stays entirely in the building, with no public side, is not hybrid. Exam caveat: private describes who the cloud is for, not whether a vendor helps operate the hardware. A managed platform in the company's building can still be private. Operational check: confirm the workloads stay on the company's servers and that an outside firm cannot subscribe. Draw the servers inside the company boundary and show that no public subscription is attached. Show that an outside company cannot subscribe to this platform.
