Public cloud
A public cloud is a cloud computing model that offers
computing services to individuals and organizations over the
public internet. In a public cloud, third-party providers manage
and own the resources, such as hardware, software, and
infrastructure, and make them available to customers on a pay-
as-you-go basis. Customers can purchase or use these services
for free, and only pay for what they use, such as storage,
bandwidth, or CPU cycles.
Public cloud services can include: compute and storage,
applications, and develop-and-deploy environments
Example: Microsoft Azure is an example of a public cloud. In a
public cloud, you share the same hardware, storage, and
network devices with other organizations or cloud “tenants,”
and you access services and
Private cloud
A private cloud is a cloud computing service that provides
resources, hardware, software, and infrastructure to a single
user or private network. It's also known as an internal or
corporate cloud.
Private clouds offer many of the same benefits as public clouds,
such as scalability, self-service, and elasticity. However, private
clouds are dedicated to a single organization's needs and goals,
and they provide more control and customization through on-
premises resources. Private clouds can be hosted within an
organization or remotely managed by a third party and
accessed over the internet.
Private clouds can provide a higher level of security and privacy
through company firewalls and internal hosting.
Example : For example, the IT infrastructure for your
organization could be purchased and maintained by a third-
party organization in its data center.
Hybrid cloud
A hybrid cloud is a mixed computing environment where
applications are run using a combination of computing, storage,
and services in different environments—public clouds and
private clouds, including on-premises data centers or “edge”
locations. Hybrid cloud computing approaches are widespread
because almost no one today relies entirely on a single public
cloud.
Hybrid cloud solutions enable you to migrate and manage
workloads between these various cloud environments, allowing
you to create more versatile setups based on your specific
business needs. Many organizations choose to adopt hybrid
cloud platforms to reduce costs, minimize risk, and extend their
existing capabilities to support digital transformation efforts.
A hybrid cloud approach is one of the most common
infrastructure setups today. Cloud migrations often naturally
lead to hybrid cloud implementations as organizations often
have to transition applications and data slowly and
systematically. Hybrid cloud environments allow you to
continue using on-premises services while taking advantage of
the flexible options for storing and accessing data and
applications offered by public cloud providers, such as Google
Cloud.
