Question

You are the data manager for a retail company; you anticipate a much higher volume of sales activity in the final quarter of each calendar year than the other quarters. In order to handle these increased transactions, and to accommodate the temporary sales personnel you will hire for only that time period, you consider augmenting your internal, on-premises production environment with a cloud capability for a specific duration, and will return to operating fully on-premises after the period of increased activity. This is an example of ____________.

Why each option

The described scenario, where an on-premises environment temporarily extends its capacity to a public cloud to handle peak loads, is an example of cloud bursting.

ACloud framing

Cloud framing is not a recognized cloud deployment or operational model.

BCloud enhancement

Cloud enhancement is a vague term and not a specific cloud operational strategy for temporary capacity expansion.

CCloud fragility

Cloud fragility refers to potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities in cloud services, not a method of capacity management.

DCloud burstingCorrect

Cloud bursting is a hybrid cloud deployment model where an application runs in a private cloud or data center and "bursts" into a public cloud when the demand for computing capacity increases beyond what the private cloud can handle. This allows organizations to handle temporary spikes in workload without over-provisioning their on-premises infrastructure.
