A multinational corporation is required by law to keep customer data within the European Union. They are considering a hybrid cloud deployment where the private cloud is hosted in an EU data center, and the public cloud portion is used for analytics. To comply with the data residency requirement, what is the most important consideration?

The private cloud must be physically isolated from the public cloud

The hybrid cloud must be connected via a dedicated private link

The public cloud must be used only for non-personal data

The public cloud provider must have a data center in the EU

A company runs a containerized application on a Kubernetes cluster. They are evaluating whether to use spot instances for the worker nodes to reduce costs. The application is fault-tolerant and can handle interruptions. However, the company also has a service level agreement (SLA) that requires 99.9% uptime. What is the primary trade-off they must consider?

Spot instances are not available for containerized workloads

Spot instances are more expensive but provide better performance

Spot instances require a long-term commitment

Spot instances are cheaper but may be reclaimed, risking SLA violations

A healthcare organization must process patient data that is subject to strict data-residency regulations. They are considering a hybrid cloud model to handle variable workloads. The organization wants to ensure that patient data never leaves the country, but they also need to burst compute capacity during peak times. Which approach best satisfies both constraints?

Use a private cloud for all workloads and add more on-premises capacity

Use a hybrid cloud with a public cloud region in the same country for bursting, while keeping patient data on-premises

Use a community cloud shared with other healthcare organizations

Use a public cloud region located within the country for all workloads
