Several counties share a purpose-built cloud for mutual-aid GIS with shared governance among those agencies. Which deployment model applies?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Neighboring counties pool a special cloud for mutual-aid maps and set the rules together — that is community cloud. Same club, shared purpose. Public mega-cloud for everyone, or one county's private stack, are different models.
Full Explanation
Community cloud is shared by multiple organizations with common concerns—such as jurisdictions collaborating on mutual-aid GIS—under shared governance. It differs from open public multi-tenancy and from single-organization private cloud. Recognizing community cloud helps map consortium-style civic platforms correctly.
