Payroll stays in the company's own data center, and the public website runs in a public cloud. Which deployment model is that?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Part of the work stays in your own building and part of it rents space downtown. Payroll remains in the company data center while the public website runs in a public cloud, and that mix is a hybrid deployment. Calling the whole thing public, calling the whole thing private, or calling it a cloud shared by several companies misses the split.
Full Explanation
A hybrid deployment uses more than one model at once. Keeping payroll in the company's own data center is the private side. Running the public website in a public cloud is the public side. The organization uses both, so the deployment is hybrid. A public-only description would put payroll in the public cloud as well. The stem keeps it in the company. A private-only description would keep the website in the company data center too. The website is in a public cloud, so private-only ignores half the design. A community cloud is the tempting extra model because it is also a named deployment. It is shared by several organizations with a common interest, and this design is one company's payroll plus a public website. Exam caveat: hybrid does not require a specific product between the two halves. What makes it hybrid is that a private deployment and a public deployment are both in use. Operational check: confirm payroll remains on company-owned infrastructure and the website's resources are in the public cloud account.
