Which description of a virtual private cloud is true?
Click on the arrows to vote for the correct answer
A. B. C. D.C.
A virtual private cloud (VPC) is a cloud computing model that provides a private and isolated virtual network within a public cloud environment. The main purpose of a VPC is to offer the benefits of cloud computing such as scalability, elasticity, and cost-effectiveness while maintaining the security and privacy of a traditional private cloud environment.
Now let's review the options:
A. an on-demand configurable pool of shared data resources allocated within a private cloud environment, which provides assigned DMZ zones.
This option describes a private cloud environment with assigned DMZ zones, which is different from a virtual private cloud. DMZ zones are used to separate a public network from a private network, which is not the purpose of a VPC.
B. an on-demand configurable pool of shared networking resources allocated within a private cloud environment, which provides tenant isolation.
This option describes a private cloud environment with tenant isolation, which is closer to the concept of a virtual private cloud. However, the key difference is that a VPC is hosted in a public cloud environment, not a private cloud environment.
C. an on-demand configurable pool of shared networking resources allocated within a public cloud environment, which provides tenant isolation.
This option correctly describes the concept of a virtual private cloud. A VPC is a virtual network that is logically isolated from other virtual networks in the same public cloud environment. It allows organizations to create a private, isolated network environment within a public cloud infrastructure, using the same resources and benefits as a public cloud.
D. an on-demand configurable pool of shared software resources allocated within a private cloud environment, which provides tenant isolation.
This option describes a private cloud environment with tenant isolation based on shared software resources, which is not the same as a VPC.
In summary, the correct answer is C, which describes a virtual private cloud as an on-demand configurable pool of shared networking resources allocated within a public cloud environment, which provides tenant isolation.
