You work for a government contractor that handles highly sensitive information. Regulations state that data-and any systems connected to that data-cannot be shared with other companies or organizations. All computing hardware must be physically and logically dedicated to your employer only. Which cloud-deployment model best satisfies these requirements?
A private cloud is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization. Because the underlying hardware and resources are not shared with other tenants, it meets strict isolation requirements for sensitive or regulated environments.
Public cloud: Resources are shared among many customers over the Internet-does not meet the isolation requirement.
Community cloud: Resources are shared by several organizations with similar missions-still fails the "no sharing with other organizations" rule.
Hybrid cloud: Combines two or more deployment models; any public-cloud component would violate the dedicated-hardware mandate.
NIST SP 800-145 defines a private cloud as infrastructure "provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization," matching the scenario's needs.
