A city wants citizen-facing services on shared Microsoft-operated multi-tenant cloud resources. Which cloud deployment model is that?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Public cloud is the big shared apartment building Microsoft runs—many tenants, provider-owned gear. If the city is on shared multi-tenant Microsoft services, that is the public cloud model, not "our private basement only."
Full Explanation
Public cloud uses provider-owned resources shared across multiple customer organizations in a multi-tenant model. Microsoft-operated Microsoft 365 and related services used by many cities fit that definition. Private cloud implies dedicated resources for one organization; hybrid work is a workforce pattern, not the deployment model name for shared multi-tenant cloud.
