Cloud Computing — Types of Cloud Deployment Models

There are three main cloud deployment models, each suited for different use cases:

  1. Public Cloud: Services are offered over the public internet and shared among multiple customers. Example: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud.
  2. Private Cloud: Infrastructure is dedicated to a single organization, offering more control and security. Example: A company hosting its own internal cloud system.
  3. Hybrid Cloud: Combines public and private clouds, allowing data and applications to move between them as needed. Each model has its advantages. Public cloud is cost-effective, private cloud is more secure, and hybrid cloud provides flexibility and balance.
Example: A hospital might store sensitive patient data in a private cloud while using the public cloud for running analytics on anonymized data.
