# 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. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
