   Why is regulatory compliance a consideration in cloud bursting designs?

   • ABecause cloud bursting always violates data privacy laws
   • BBecause regulatory compliance is optional in hybrid cloud
   • CBecause compliance is only relevant for on-premises infrastructure
   • DBecause data may be stored or processed in cloud regions that are subject to different regulations

   A large enterprise runs a mission-critical application on-premises. They want to burst to the cloud for occasional capacity peaks. The application uses sticky sessions and requires low latency. They have an F5 BIG-IP on-premises and want to integrate cloud resources seamlessly. Which architecture should they use?

   • AUse a cloud-based load balancer and replicate the BIG-IP configuration manually.
   • BUse a global server load balancing (GSLB) solution that directs traffic based on geographic location.
   • CDeploy a separate cloud load balancer and use DNS round-robin between on-premises and cloud.
   • DExtend the BIG-IP pool to include cloud VMs and use a load-balancing method that supports persistence, such as cookie-based persistence.

   A global logistics company runs a real-time tracking system on-premises. They want to burst to the cloud to handle peak tracking requests. The on-premises and cloud environments are in different regions, and the application requires low latency for user requests. Which network connectivity option should they choose?

   • AUse a public internet connection without any VPN.
   • BUse a VPN over a satellite link.
   • CUse a site-to-site VPN over the internet.
   • DUse a dedicated private connection such as Azure ExpressRoute.

   A retail company runs its e-commerce platform on-premises. During flash sales, traffic spikes to 5x normal. They want to burst additional web servers to the cloud to handle the load. They have an F5 BIG-IP on-premises that manages traffic. What is the most effective way to direct traffic to the cloud during bursts?

   • AExtend the BIG-IP configuration to include cloud pool members and use a dynamic load-balancing method with health monitors.
   • BUse BIG-IP's iRules to manually redirect traffic to the cloud when the on-premises pool is busy.
   • CConfigure the BIG-IP to use a static load-balancing method that sends a fixed percentage of traffic to the cloud.
   • DDeploy a cloud-based load balancer and update DNS to point to it during the sale.
