Exam CCSP topic 1 question 233 discussion

Is the company currently operating on prem or in cloud? If it's currently in cloud, which model? The answer incorrectly assumes that we know the information.

Public cloud services are often the go-to choice for robust disaster recovery (DR) configurations. They offer: Scalability & Flexibility: Resources can be provisioned on-demand to match your DR needs. Cost Efficiency: You typically pay only for what you use, avoiding significant upfront capital expenditure. Geographical Redundancy: Public cloud providers have data centers in multiple locations, enhancing resiliency and failover capabilities. In contrast, hybrid, private, or community models either involve more complex management or don't inherently offer the broad, on-demand resource availability that public clouds do for DR purposes.

A. Hybrid

The question implies that you DO NOT have a clod solution. DR context implies that your current location is no longer usable for ops so the DR location must be in a different location than your current location, Cloud would allow you to recover faster and with less cost. Hybrid is best cloud solution for this.

A is the correct answer, it is Hybrid DR model

Another tricky question, where you could argue for both A & D, but in my opinion, the way it is written, I would go for A

Disaster takes place, it would make sense that the area the region that is impact would impact your On-prem. Public cloud would allow you to set-up your DR location in a totally different region giving you the best option. Not to mention Cost savings.

A: is the correct answer. No other one would even closely come to benefit DR as well as hybrid would.

A: Hybrid

I will go public is most efficent way IMO

pg 25 of the study guide "“Cloud bursting” and disaster recovery can be enhanced by hybrid cloud deployments; “cloud bursting” allows for public cloud resources to be utilized when a private cloud workload has reached maximum capacity." Also, if you are "implementing" cloud services I am going to say Hybrid as you can't just go from on-prem to cloud unless you're only doing IaaS / VMs.

Public(AWS or Azure) makes more sense to me. Hybrid if needing more shared security responsibility.

I think its public, question doesnt talk about PII or SPI/PHI, it doesn't say you have a mix of clouds. robust DR is only three in public.

The question doesn't mention the production environment is a private cloud environment. According to NIST's definition, it cannot be a Hybrid Cloud if it does not involves two of more distinct cloud infrastructures (private, community, or public).
