Cloud Models: Incorrect Answer Explanation?

Hi Xavier SB,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum about the concern you have with the question and answer in our Microsoft Azure Fundamentals course, specifically in the "Define cloud models" unit. We appreciate your diligence in understanding the concept and bringing this to our attention.

You make a valid point that the question seems to be asking from the perspective of the cloud service provider, whereas the explanations for each cloud model are from the perspective of the customer consuming the cloud service. This subtle difference in perspective can indeed lead to confusion.

However, upon reviewing the question and answer, we believe that the correct answer is actually "Hybrid cloud". Here's why:

A public cloud is a multi-tenant environment where resources are provided to anyone who wants to purchase cloud services. It's not focused on a single customer, but rather serves multiple customers.

A hybrid cloud, on the other hand, can be a combination of public and private clouds. In this scenario, some data centers can be focused on providing cloud services to anyone (public cloud), while others can be dedicated to a single customer (private cloud). This hybrid approach allows for flexibility and customization to meet the needs of different customers.

We understand that Microsoft, as a leading cloud provider, strives to provide accurate and clear explanations. We apologize if our previous explanation may have caused confusion. We're committed to continuously improving our content to ensure its accurate, clear, and helpful to our learners.

Thank you again for pointing this out, and we hope this clarification helps. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
