CompTIA Data+ DA0-002 (V2) Practice Question

The on-premises data center is a private environment, while AWS is a public cloud operated by an external provider. When an organization combines any two distinct cloud infrastructures-private, public, or community-into a single architecture that allows data and applications to move between them, NIST classifies the resulting environment as a hybrid cloud. A private cloud alone would not involve AWS, a public cloud alone would not include the company's data center, and a multi-cloud strategy specifically refers to using two or more public cloud providers rather than mixing on-prem and public resources.
