A group of non-profit agencies wants to implement a cloud service to share resources with each other and minimize costs. Which of the following cloud deployment models BEST describes this type of…

A public cloud is provisioned for open use by the general public and is not restricted to a specific group of agencies with shared concerns.

A hybrid cloud combines two or more distinct cloud infrastructures (private, public, or community), but the scenario only describes a single shared cloud model for a group, not a combination.

A community cloud is provisioned for exclusive use by a specific community of consumers from organizations that have shared concerns (e.g., mission, security requirements, policy, and compliance considerations). The group of non-profit agencies sharing resources and minimizing costs aligns perfectly with this definition, as they represent a specific community with common interests.

A private cloud is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization, whereas the scenario involves multiple non-profit agencies sharing resources.
