Which deployment model does the NIST definition describe as provisioned for open use by the general public?

  1. Private cloud
  2. Community cloud
  3. Public cloud
  4. Hybrid cloud
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Public cloud

1. All four deployment models open with the same phrase, "The cloud infrastructure is provisioned for...", so the difference is in who it is provisioned for. 2. Public cloud is provisioned "for open use by the general public". 3. Private cloud is provisioned "for exclusive use by a single organization", and community cloud "for exclusive use by a specific community of consumers". Both say *exclusive*, which is the opposite of open. 4. Hybrid cloud is not provisioned for a group at all; it is "a composition of two or more distinct cloud infrastructures". _Source: NIST SP 800-145 "The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing" (Sept 2011), p.3 section 2 "Deployment Models"_

Which deployment model is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization comprising multiple consumers such as business units?

  1. Community cloud
  2. Public cloud
  3. Hybrid cloud
  4. Private cloud
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Private cloud

1. The phrase "a single organization comprising multiple consumers (e.g., business units)" appears in exactly one of the four clauses. 2. That clause is private cloud, and the parenthetical about business units is the definition's own example. 3. The wording matters: private does not mean one user, it means one organization that may contain many internal consumers. 4. Community cloud is also exclusive, but to consumers "from organizations" in the plural that share concerns, which is the distinction being tested here. _Source: NIST SP 800-145 "The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing" (Sept 2011), p.3 section 2 "Deployment Models"_

The NIST definition offers cloud bursting for load balancing between clouds as an example of what?

  1. Public cloud metering technology
  2. Private cloud isolation technology
  3. Hybrid cloud portability technology
  4. Community cloud sharing technology
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Hybrid cloud portability technology

1. Cloud bursting is named once, in a parenthetical at the very end of the deployment models section. 2. It illustrates the binding technology in the hybrid clause: technology "that enables data and application portability (e.g., cloud bursting for load balancing between clouds)". 3. So it is an example of hybrid cloud portability, the mechanism that lets work move between the distinct clouds that make up the hybrid. 4. The phrase "between clouds" is itself the clue, since only the hybrid model involves more than one cloud infrastructure. 5. Metering belongs to measured service, not to the public model isolation is implied by private but never named as a technology and the community clause names no technology at all. _Source: NIST SP 800-145 "The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing" (Sept 2011), p.3 section 2 "Deployment Models"_
