A company rents computing capacity from a provider that offers the same service to any customer. The company does not own the hosts. Which cloud model is that?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The company is a customer of a service anyone can buy, and the machines are not in its closet. You call that a public cloud. A cloud for one owner, a club of peer organizations, and a hypervisor down the hall are different arrangements.
Full Explanation
A public cloud is a provider's service sold to any customer, on hosts the customers do not own. Renting capacity on those terms matches the model. A private cloud serves one organization and can live on that organization's own hosts. Rented multi-customer capacity is not private just because one company is paying an invoice. A community cloud is shared by a defined group of organizations, not offered to any customer who signs up. A type 1 hypervisor in the company's closet would be hardware the company houses. This stem says the company does not own the hosts. Exam caveat: public describes who may buy the service. The company can still put private data there, and it still has to configure access. Operational check: confirm the subscription is the provider's public service and that the hosts are not in the company's building. Confirm the hosts are not in the company's building and that any customer can subscribe. Save the subscription name so the next review does not relabel it private.
