Cloud deployment models

public

Quick access to computing resources without a large upfront cost, with the public cloud, your company purchases virtualized computing, storage, and networking services from a cloud service provider over the public internet.

private

A private cloud is hosted in a data center and maintained by IT staff, this involves significant capital expenditure. Having your own private cloud also allows you to control how data is shared and stored. This is often the best option if cloud security is a concern, as you can manage data governance.

multicloud

By combining services from different cloud service offerings, multicloud offers more flexibility across different price points, service offerings, features and geographic locations.

hybrid

combines public cloud and private cloud environments, allowing data and applications to be shared between them.
