   A university research lab needs to run a large-scale simulation that requires massive compute power for only one week each semester. The lab has a small on-premises cluster that is insufficient for the simulation. The lab has a limited budget and cannot justify purchasing a large cluster that would sit idle most of the year. Which deployment model is most appropriate?

   • AEdge deployment with distributed computing across lab workstations
   • BPrivate cloud with a dedicated high-performance cluster
   • CPublic cloud with a temporary high-performance compute instance
   • DHybrid cloud with a permanent on-premises cluster and public cloud burst

   A multinational bank must deploy a new customer-facing application. The bank's compliance team requires that all customer data be stored in a specific country and that the infrastructure be dedicated to the bank. The application also experiences unpredictable traffic spikes. The bank has an existing data center in that country but limited space for expansion. Which deployment model best satisfies all requirements?

   • APublic cloud with a dedicated region and dedicated hosts
   • BHybrid cloud with on-premises data storage and public cloud compute in the same country
   • CEdge deployment with local servers at each branch
   • DPrivate cloud with a dedicated on-premises data center
