Microsoft Azure is one of the examples of the public cloud. The Azure tutorial gives a brief explanation. As it is operated by third-party cloud service providers to deliver resources such as services and storage through the Internet.

Even if it asks for the third-party to involve in its resources only through the private network of the organization it is possible to access the servers and storage devices. These cloud computing resources are exclusively used by a single organization.

Hybrid cloud -This cloud is a combination of both public and private clouds. It allows the data and application to pass through the public cloud and private cloud.
