Types of cloud computing

 There are several types of cloud computing, Not all clouds are the same and not one type of cloud computing is right for everyone. Several different models, types and services have evolved to help offer the right solution for your needs.

First, you need to determine the type of cloud deployment or cloud computing architecture, that your cloud services will be implemented on. There are three different ways to deploy cloud services: on a public cloud, private cloud or hybrid cloud.

Public cloud

• Public clouds are owned and operated by a third-party cloud services provider which deliver their computing resources like servers and storage over the Internet. 

• Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS are examples of  public cloud. 

• With a public cloud, all hardware, software and other supporting infrastructure is owned and managed by the cloud provider. 

• You access these services and manage your account using a web browser.

Private cloud

• A private cloud refers to cloud computing resources used exclusively by a single business or organisation. 

• A private cloud can be physically located on the company’s on-site datacenter. 

• Some companies also pay third-party service providers to host their private cloud. 

• A private cloud is one in which the services and infrastructure are maintained on a private network.

Hybrid cloud

• Hybrid clouds combine public and private clouds, bound together by technology that allows data and applications to be shared between them. 

• By allowing data and applications to move between private and public clouds, a hybrid cloud gives your business greater flexibility, more deployment options and helps optimise your existing infrastructure, security and compliance.

Community cloud

• a collaborative platform used by several different organisations to share the same application. users are mostly the employees or co-workers of a same firm or business or maybe of same field.
