Cloud Computing Deployment Models
Cloud computing deployment models represent the specific environment in which a cloud service is hosted.
They define the management, operation, accessibility, and ownership of the computing resources. The most common deployment models include:
Public Cloud
Services are provided over the internet, accessible to anyone willing to pay. These are owned and operated by third-party service providers. Examples include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure.
Private Cloud
The cloud infrastructure is exclusively used by a single organization. It can be managed by the organization or a third party and can exist on-premise or off-premise.
Hybrid Cloud: A combination of public and private clouds, allowing data and applications to be shared between them. This model offers greater flexibility and more deployment options.
Community Cloud
The infrastructure is shared between several organizations from a specific community with common concerns (security, compliance, jurisdiction, etc.), possibly managed by the organizations or a third party.
