In which architecture is on-premises applications distributed to a public cloud provider?

• A. Public Cloud
• B. Hybrid Cloud
• C. Private Cloud
• D. Community Cloud

Answer: (B)

Hybrid cloud is when you run some applications on-premises and extend them into a public cloud provider, allowing workloads to span both environments. This architecture lets you keep sensitive components in your own data center while offloading scalable or burst workloads to the public cloud. So distributing on-premises apps to a public cloud provider fits hybrid cloud. In a pure public cloud, everything lives in the provider’s environment; in a private cloud, resources stay in your own infrastructure; and a community cloud is shared among a group, not necessarily mixed private/public workloads.
