A councilor calls any remote SaaS 'private cloud' because users log in with passwords. What correction should cloud staff give?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A password on a shared SaaS box does not magically make it 'private cloud.' Private means the infrastructure is dedicated to your organization. Login secrets are authentication — they are not the deployment model.
Full Explanation
Private cloud refers to infrastructure dedicated to a single organization (on-premises or hosted dedicated), not simply the presence of user authentication. Multi-tenant public SaaS commonly uses passwords or stronger auth while remaining public cloud. Cloud+ candidates must correct the misconception that 'has a password' equals private cloud.
