Cloud Deployment Models
Today I will be talking about the different deployment models used by cloud technologies.
Public Cloud
Various third-party service providers deliver the public cloud over the internet. It is an environment shared between multiple businesses.
Some public cloud computing resources exist for free, while customers may pay for other resources through subscription or pay-per-usage pricing models.
Some examples of public clouds are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud.
Private Cloud
Private Cloud is an environment dedicated to one customer, business, or organization. A private cloud is typically hosted on-premises in the customer data center.
A private cloud can also be hosted on an independent cloud provider infrastructure or built on rented infrastructure in an offsite data center.
Organizations can choose the private cloud when there is a need to meet regulatory compliance requirements or when dealing with workloads containing confidential documents, financial information, intellectual property, personally identifiable information (PII), medical records, or any other sensitive data.
Hybrid Cloud

Hybrid Cloud is a combination of public and private cloud models.
Organizations can take advantage of the features of the public cloud and the security and compliance capabilities of the private cloud.
The data and workloads can freely move between the two environments, giving organizations the flexibility to choose the optimal cloud for their applications.
Multi-Cloud
In multi-cloud environments, organizations utilize more than one cloud provider, thus taking advantage of the best features available.
Organizations do not need to depend on a single cloud vendor, which provides them with high availability by removing single points of failure.
They can also prevent vendor lock-in by having multiple services to choose from and controlling pricing.
Hope this article would have helped you understand the different cloud deployment models.
