Private cloud:
A private cloud, an evolution from corporate datacenters, grants exclusive control to a single entity while incurring greater costs and potentially being hosted on-site or in a dedicated offsite datacenter managed by a third party.
Public cloud:
A public cloud, managed by a third-party provider, offers accessible resources to anyone seeking cloud services, distinguishing it from private clouds by its open availability to all users.
Hybrid cloud:
A hybrid cloud merges public and private clouds, facilitating flexible resource usage, temporary scaling, and selective service deployment for added security.
Private clouds: are hosted in a company’s own data centre or on dedicated hardware that is owned by the company.
Public clouds: are hosted in a shared environment such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure.
Hybrid clouds: combine both private and public cloud models for maximum flexibility.
