Which network connectivity option is commonly used to establish a secure connection between on-premises infrastructure and a public cloud for cloud bursting?

A local area network (LAN) connection

A public internet connection without encryption

A university runs a research computing cluster on-premises. During grant submission deadlines, researchers submit large batch jobs that overwhelm the cluster. The university wants to use cloud resources temporarily to handle the extra load. Which description best fits this scenario?

Cloud federation, where multiple clouds are used simultaneously.

Cloud bursting, where the on-premises environment is extended to the cloud during peak demand.

Cloud backup, where data is copied to the cloud for disaster recovery.

Cloud migration, where all workloads are moved to the cloud permanently.

In a cloud bursting architecture, what is the role of the orchestration layer?

To automate the provisioning and scaling of cloud resources

To store data that is synchronized between on-premises and cloud

To provide a secure network connection between on-premises and cloud

To balance traffic between on-premises and cloud

A healthcare organization runs a patient portal on-premises. During flu season, they burst to the cloud to handle increased traffic. Patient data is stored in an on-premises database and must be synchronized to the cloud for the burst. The organization is subject to HIPAA and requires encryption in transit and at rest. Which data synchronization method should they use?

Use a nightly batch export of the database to a cloud storage bucket with server-side encryption.

Copy the database files to the cloud using an unencrypted FTP connection.

Use a public cloud storage service without any encryption settings.

Set up a VPN and use database replication with TLS encryption to a cloud database instance.

A company runs a batch processing workload on-premises that runs every night. They want to burst to the cloud to reduce runtime. They have a limited budget and want to automate the process. Which orchestration approach should they use?

Use a cloud orchestration tool to provision VMs, run the batch, and deprovision VMs automatically.

Use a cloud scheduler to start VMs at a fixed time and stop them after a fixed duration.

Use a hybrid cloud management platform that requires manual approval for each burst.

Use a script that manually starts VMs and stops them after the batch completes.
