Difference between public and private and hybrid cloud,
Cloud computing is entirely based of the internet. Simply we can say,
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services like servers, storage, database, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence over the internet (“cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economics of scale.”
Basic premise of cloud computing is delivery of computing services over the internet. and there are different ways to deploy cloud resources. Those are Public cloud, Private cloud, Hybrid cloud. These three are provide similar benefits, including cost-effectiveness, performance, reliability and scale. And the deployment you choose, based on your business.
For better understand let’s take a quick review about difference between public and private and hybrid cloud,
What is a Public cloud?
