QUESTION 23 OF 30

What are some of the characteristics of a distributed cloud?

The Amazon interviewer is asking you about another type of cloud architecture. During an interview for a cloud engineer job, you will be asked a wide range of questions about different technologies, architectures, service providers, and other elements of cloud computing. While you may not have direct experience with all of these, you should have knowledge of them. Reviewing the common cloud technologies and architectures before the Amazon interview will help you be prepared for these types of questions.

"A distributed cloud refers to a cloud infrastructure physically located in different data centers. This can be a private, public, or hybrid cloud and may be managed 100% by the organization or provided as a service by Azure, AWS, Oracle, or other cloud service providers. The key criterion to defining the cloud architecture as being distributed is where the physical assets reside. Management, operation, utilization, and governance of registering cloud are similar to that of a hosted cloud or on-premise environment. The advantages of a distributed cloud include security, reliability, and the ability to optimize the performance of cloud resources."
