Which deployment model blends public and private environments with policy enforcement across both?

• A. It blends public and private environments; policy enforcement spans environments.
• B. It uses multiple providers with no policy enforcement.
• C. It is a fully on-premises model.
• D. It is a single vendor.

Answer: (A)

Blending public and private environments with policy enforcement across both points to a hybrid cloud deployment. The idea is to run some workloads in a private cloud or on-premises for control and security, while leveraging a public cloud for scalability and agility, all under a unified set of governance and security rules. This requires central policy enforcement, consistent identity and access management, and seamless networking so that rules apply the same way whether a workload sits in private infrastructure or in the public cloud. The other choices don’t fit because they describe only a single environment, lack governance across multiple environments, or omit the public cloud component entirely.
