Exam 200-301 topic 1 question 775 discussion

A & C are correct. E refers to a hybrid cloud

A public cloud is a type of computing where resources are offered by a third-party provider via the internet and shared by organizations and individuals who want to use or purchase them. It is owned and maintained by one party, but it is shared among multiple organizations. Therefore, the correct answers are: **A. It is owned and maintained by one party, but it is shared among multiple organizations** **C. It provides services that are accessed over the Internet** Option E is not the answer because it describes a hybrid cloud model, not a public cloud model. A hybrid cloud is a type of cloud computing that combines on-premises, private cloud and third-party, public cloud services with orchestration between the two platforms. This allows data and applications to be shared between them. Therefore, while a hybrid cloud includes aspects of a public cloud, it also includes private, on-premises infrastructure, which is not a characteristic of a public cloud.

A. Owned and maintained by one party, but shared among multiple organizations: Public clouds are managed by third-party providers (such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud), who own and maintain the infrastructure, but it is used by multiple organizations (tenants). C. Provides services that are accessed over the Internet: Public cloud services are delivered via the Internet, allowing organizations to access computing resources from virtually anywhere. Other Options: B. Fully customizable: While some customization is possible, public clouds do not provide the same level of full customization as a private cloud. D. Maintains cloud services for only one company: This describes a private cloud, not a public cloud. E. Supports privately-owned virtual resources: Public clouds use centralized third-party resources, not privately-owned ones.

A & C are correct

I don't need to explain C; it's obvious. A is more likely the definition of a "community cloud." See for yourself from the NIST: https://csrc.nist.gov/glossary/term/community_cloud Private clouds can also be used by individuals, not just enterprise, and so A is definitely out.

AC make sense

what about B?

Wrong answer. I believe that the correct one is C and E, they are clearer. This site below has got some questions right. About the letter A she is half right, but her statement about sharing with other organizations is not very clear, maybe if it were users she could be more correct, about the public cloud characteristic, the letter A is badly worded. https://itexamanswers.net/question/what-are-two-characteristics-of-a-public-cloud-implementation-choose-two

The answer AC is correct I think, for E, it is not saying that the resources is offered by a third-party provided, what it emphasizes is the public cloud can 'support' a third party ..., that is not the case in most public cloud I think.

Public cloud is a type of computing where resources are offered by a third-party provider via the internet. ( https://cloud.google.com/learn/what-is-public-cloud ) C & E are correct.
