Explanation

Bare metal deployment means running the application directly on dedicated physical hardware inside the corporate data center, with no hypervisor or cloud layer. This guarantees sensitive data never transits outside the corporate network (ruling out cloud), while also delivering the highest possible performance since there is no virtualization overhead. VMs and containers add abstraction layers that reduce performance. Cloud deployments by definition involve external infrastructure, violating the data-transit requirement.
