An enterprise maintains legacy database systems in an on-premises datacenter due to strict regulatory data governance policies. The company plans to launch a new, highly scalable customer-facing web application that experiences unpredictable traffic surges and wants to avoid purchasing additional physical server hardware.
Which cloud deployment model should the enterprise implement to satisfy both requirements?
A hybrid cloud combines public cloud services (such as Microsoft Azure) with private cloud or on-premises infrastructure. This model allows data and applications to be shared between both environments using secure network interconnects such as Azure ExpressRoute or Site-to-Site VPN gateways.
A hybrid cloud provides the ideal architectural trade-off by preserving direct governance and security control over existing legacy assets while unlocking the elasticity, consumption-based pricing, and global scale of the public cloud.
