A healthcare organization maintains a legacy database containing sensitive patient records that must remain hosted within its local on-premises datacenter to comply with strict regional data sovereignty regulations.
At the same time, the organization wants to build a new public-facing appointment booking web application in Azure to benefit from high availability, automatic scaling, and a pay-as-you-use billing structure, while securely connecting back to the on-premises records.
Which cloud deployment model best satisfies the organization's requirements?
A hybrid cloud is a computing environment that combines an on-premises private cloud (or local datacenter) with a public cloud (such as Microsoft Azure), allowing data and applications to be shared between them through secure network connections.
The hybrid cloud model delivers the exact balance needed: local hosting to guarantee strict compliance and public cloud hosting to achieve rapid scalability and cost optimization.
