Which deployment type is optimal for hybrid cloud integration?

The optimal deployment type for hybrid cloud integration is Runtime Fabric. This is because Runtime Fabric provides a flexible and scalable deployment solution that allows organizations to run Mule applications across both on-premises and cloud environments. It effectively bridges the gap between the existing on-premises infrastructure and cloud services, supporting a seamless integration of data and services across different environments.

Runtime Fabric operates as a container service, enabling the deployment of Mule applications in a consistent and efficient manner across various locations. This allows organizations to leverage their existing on-premises data processing capabilities while simultaneously taking advantage of the scalability and flexibility offered by cloud resources. The architecture also facilitates the management of resources and application scaling, which is crucial in hybrid environments where workloads may fluctuate and require adaptability.

In contrast, options such as On-premises and Dedicated Cloud restrict the deployment to local or single-cloud environments, which inhibits the flexibility required for hybrid scenarios. CloudHub, while it provides a cloud-based solution, does not support on-premises deployments directly, making it less suitable for hybrid integration. Runtime Fabric’s capacity to operate in both environments makes it the most suitable choice for hybrid cloud integration.
