An engineer is designing a cloud solution for an organization. The security requirements mandate that the cloud must be hosted in a local data center but leverage the remote data center for remote backups.
Additionally, the workloads in the data center must be scaled out to a known cloud provider in the future.
Which cloud deployment model must be used to meet these requirements?
Correct Answer: B
The hybrid cloud model is the most suitable for the described scenario. It allows for a combination of local (private) cloud infrastructure with remote (public) cloud services. This model supports hosting the primary workloads in a local data center, utilizing remote data centers for backups, and provides the flexibility to scale out to a public cloud provider when necessary. The hybrid cloud model offers the benefits of both private and public clouds, including security, scalability, and flexibility, which aligns with the organization's requirements.
