Cloud does provide (D) metered pricing, as you pay for the resources you use. Also provides (E) a self-managed service, as you can use the portal to add, change and also remove the resources you need when you need them.Hardware is shared among public cloud clients, so it is NOT dedicated. Connections on cloud are SECURED, so B do not apply to Public Cloud. Storage is virtually unlimited on the cloud, so C do not apply.

so basically A,B,C do not make sense in the case of cloud computing so they are automatically wrong and D, E are correct for just about any type of cloud storage (public, enterprise, private or hybrid). It's a trick question where they mention public cloud simply as a catch/confusion.

Isn't dedicated hardware provided to you in private cloud in case you hire a cloud provider to implement your private cloud? Reserved Instances also I think provide dedicated hardware, don't they? Please correct me if I am wrong.

There is something called Azure Dedicated Host, but it's a very specific service. This is more a general question and in sense in Public Cloud you do not have dedicated HW.

Agree D,E correct. But if we choose Isolated App Service plan, dedicated hardware isallocated for you. So, A is also possible. Point A is is not complete question.

D. Metered Pricing Public cloud services operate on a pay-as-you-go model. Users are charged based on the resources they consume (e.g., compute, storage, bandwidth). ce Management Public cloud providers offer self-service portals, allowing users to deploy, manage, and scale resources without manual intervention. Examples include Azure Portal, AWS Management Console, and Google Cloud Console.

I do not think dedicated hardware is an option, you pay for resources in a metered way and self service management. BC are out of the question.

The correct answers are: D. metered pricing E. self-service management Explanation: A. Dedicated hardware is not a characteristic of the public cloud. Public cloud providers share their infrastructure among many customers to optimize resource utilization and reduce costs. B. Public cloud providers typically use secure connections to protect data in transit, so unsecured connections are not a characteristic of the public cloud. C. Public cloud providers offer virtually unlimited storage, so limited storage is not a characteristic of the public cloud. D. Public cloud providers charge for their services based on usage, so metered pricing is a key characteristic of the public cloud. E. Public cloud providers offer self-service management interfaces that enable customers to deploy and manage their own applications and services, so self-service management is a key characteristic of the public cloud.
