Cloud deployment models
There are several deployment models for cloud computing. These include:
- Public cloud: This deployment model involves deploying resources, such as virtual machines and storage, on a cloud provider's infrastructure. The provider manages the infrastructure and resources are made available to users over the Internet.
- Private cloud: This deployment model involves deploying resources on a private network, usually within an organization's own data center. The organization is responsible for managing the infrastructure and resources, which are not made available to users over the Internet.
- Hybrid cloud: This deployment model involves using both public and private clouds, with the option to move workloads between them. This allows organizations to take advantage of the scalability and cost-effectiveness of public clouds while maintaining control over sensitive data and workloads.
- Community cloud: This deployment model involves deploying resources on a shared infrastructure, usually for the use of a specific community of organizations. The infrastructure is managed by the organizations or a third party and resources are made available to users over the Internet.
- Multi-cloud: This deployment model involves using resources from multiple cloud providers, either for different workloads or as a backup in case of outages or other issues with a single provider.
