A company uses two different public cloud providers to run separate workloads, and it also maintains a private cloud in its own data center for legacy systems. The company wants to ensure that its security policies are consistently applied across all environments. What is the primary security challenge in this architecture?

Lack of physical security in the private cloud

Consistent identity and access management across all environments

Inability to use encryption in public clouds

Public clouds cannot meet compliance requirements

A hospital system is required by law to keep patient data within the country. They are considering a public cloud for their EHR system. The cloud provider offers regions in multiple countries. What is the most important factor in choosing a region?

The region must have the highest availability SLA

The region must support the latest encryption standards

The region must have the lowest cost

The region must be located within the country where the data is required to reside

A startup is building a new application and expects unpredictable traffic patterns. They want to minimize operational overhead and only pay for compute time when the application is actually processing requests. Which service model is the most cost-effective choice?

Platform as a Service (PaaS) with auto-scaling

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) with a fixed number of virtual machines
