A customer wants its virtual machines on a physical host that no other customer uses. Which arrangement is that?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You want the whole physical machine for your customer, rather than hardware shared with other customers. Dedicated hosting gives them that exclusive host. Multitenancy shares hosts, metered egress concerns outbound-data billing, and a community cloud serves a group of organizations—not one customer alone.
Full Explanation
Dedicated hosting places the customer's virtual machines on physical hardware that other customers do not use, which is the arrangement requested. Multitenancy is different: several customers share the same hosts, with separation between them, so it does not give each customer a host nobody else uses. Metered egress is a charge for data leaving the provider; billing for outbound data does not reserve hardware. A community cloud is shared by a group of organizations, so one customer wanting a host to itself is not a community. Exam caveat: dedicated hardware costs more and still needs patching and backups; exclusive hardware is not the same as a provider-operated application. Practical check: confirm the host's customer list shows only this customer before moving virtual machines onto it. Move a test machine only after confirming that list, and do not place a second customer's machine on the host.
