02
Front
What does “public” mean in public cloud?
Back
A public cloud is provided for use by customers generally. “Public” describes who can use the service, not whether a customer's data is publicly accessible.
03
Front
What defines a private cloud?
Back
A private cloud is provisioned for the exclusive use of one organization.
04
Front
What makes a cloud a community cloud?
Back
A community cloud is for the exclusive use of organizations that share concerns such as mission, security requirements, policy, or compliance needs.
05
Front
What makes a cloud arrangement hybrid?
Back
A hybrid cloud combines and connects at least two distinct cloud infrastructures—public, private, or community—so data or applications can move between them.
06
Front
What should guide the choice of a cloud deployment model?
Back
Choose based on each workload's control, security, compliance, cost, and integration needs. No deployment model is automatically the safest or best for every workload.
07
Front
Which four cloud deployment models does NIST identify?
Back
The four models are public, private, community, and hybrid.
08
Front
How can public-cloud customers share infrastructure while remaining separated?
Back
Multiple customers may share physical resources, while their cloud environments remain logically isolated.
09
Front
Who can operate a private cloud, and where can it be located?
Back
A private cloud may be operated by the organization, a third party, or both, and may be located on or off the organization's premises.
10
Front
Why is a VPC not a private-cloud deployment?
Back
A virtual private cloud (VPC) is an isolated virtual network within a public cloud; it is not itself a private-cloud deployment.
11
Front
What is a key governance trade-off in a community cloud?
Back
Participants may share costs and tailor governance to common needs, but they must coordinate access, responsibilities, funding, and security controls.
12
Front
Does merely using multiple cloud environments create a hybrid cloud?
Back
No. Using multiple environments without meaningful integration does not necessarily make an arrangement a hybrid cloud.
