Answer 1

 d) All the above mentioned

Explanation: Following are the three cloud deployment models:

Public Cloud: The infrastructure is owned by your cloud provider and the server that you are using could be a multi-tenant system.

Private Cloud: The infrastructure is owned by you or your cloud provider gives you that service exclusively. For eg: Hosting your website on your servers, or hosting your website with the cloud provider on a dedicated server.

Hybrid Cloud: When you use both Public Cloud, Private Cloud together, it is called Hybrid Cloud. For Example: Using your in-house servers for confidential data, and the public cloud for hosting your company’s public facing website. This type of setup would be a hybrid cloud.

Answer 2

When asked as the Azure cloud interview question you should answer it in the following way. There are various deployment models for the cloud;

Private Cloud Deployment Model is one where you own the infrastructure and the cloud provider enables you to get the service exclusively.

Public Cloud Deployment Model is one where you get the multi-tenant infrastructure from the service provider exclusively.

Hybrid Cloud Deployment Model is a set up of intermixed public and private data in which the confidential data will be served in-house and the public directed website is there to address the public.
