Hybrid cloud is a solution that uses both private and public clouds.

The statement is correct. A hybrid cloud is a cloud computing deployment model that integrates a private cloud (resources dedicated to a single organization) with a public cloud (resources shared among multiple organizations over the internet). This composition allows for the orchestration and management of workloads across both environments, enabling data and application portability. Organizations use this model to leverage the scalability and cost-efficiency of the public cloud for non-sensitive operations while keeping business-critical applications and data on-premises for enhanced security and control.

The option "False" is incorrect. The provided statement is the standard, universally accepted definition of a hybrid cloud within the IT industry and academia. Denying this definition would contradict foundational concepts of cloud computing deployment models.

1. Huawei Official Documentation: In the official training materials for the related HCIA-Cloud Service certification

the hybrid cloud model is explicitly defined as a combination of private and public clouds. This concept is a fundamental part of Huawei's cloud curriculum

which overlaps with storage principles in the H13-611 exam.

" Section 1.3 "Cloud Computing Deployment Models." The material states

"Hybrid cloud is a combination of private and public clouds. It allows enterprises to deploy sensitive services on the private cloud and common services on the public cloud."

2. Peer-reviewed Academic/Government Publication: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides the foundational definitions for cloud computing that are globally recognized and form the basis of vendor certifications

including Huawei's.

Section 2

"Cloud Deployment Models." The document defines Hybrid Cloud as: "The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more distinct cloud infrastructures (private

community

or public) that remain unique entities

but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability (e.g.

cloud bursting for load balancing between clouds)."

Hybrid Cloud is described as a composition of public and private clouds

utilized by enterprises to keep sensitive data in a private cloud while using the public cloud for scalable applications.
