A healthcare organization must store patient records and must comply with strict data residency regulations that require data to remain within the country's borders. They also want to benefit from cloud scalability during peak times. Which deployment model best satisfies both requirements?

Public cloud with a region located in the required country

Hybrid cloud with public cloud bursting

Private cloud hosted on-premises

Community cloud shared with other healthcare organizations

A DevOps team is building a CI/CD pipeline that builds container images and pushes them to a registry. They want to ensure that only approved and vulnerability-scanned images are deployed to production. Which control should they implement?

Enable audit logging on the registry

Sign images and enforce signature verification in the cluster

Set resource limits on containers

Use a private registry with access controls

A startup needs to build a data analytics platform. They want to minimize operational overhead and only pay for the compute time when data is being processed. They also need to store large amounts of data. Which combination of service models is most cost-effective?

PaaS with a serverless compute service and managed storage

IaaS with virtual machines running continuously

Private cloud with dedicated servers

A company is running a Kubernetes cluster and wants to ensure that if a container is compromised, the attacker cannot move laterally to other containers or the host. They have limited networking expertise. Which combination of controls is most effective?

Use a runtime security agent and enable host intrusion detection

Use network policies to restrict pod-to-pod communication and run containers with non-root users

Use a service mesh with mTLS and enable audit logging

Use a private container registry and image signing
