What is cloud?
"cloud" in computing refers to using remote servers accessed over the internet to store, manage, and process data, instead of relying solely on local servers or personal computers.
For example, services like Google Drive and Dropbox store your files in the cloud, allowing you to access them from any device with an internet connection.
Difference between Private and Public cloud
| Private cloud | Public cloud | |
| Ownership & Accessibility | Accessible only to the organization or authorized users within the organization. | Accessible to the general public or subscribers over the internet. |
| Deployment Model | Provides dedicated resources and greater control over security and customization, suitable for organizations with specific compliance or security requirements. | Offers shared resources on a pay-as-you-go basis, providing scalability and cost-efficiency, ideal for businesses of all sizes seeking flexibility and scalability without managing infrastructure. |
| Example | Company X's Data Center | Amazon Web Services (AWS) |
Types of cloud
There are mainly three types of clouds:
Public Cloud
Private Cloud
Hybrid Cloud
Public Cloud:
Computing services provided by third-party vendors via the internet, accessible to anyone.
Example: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform.
Private Cloud:
Computing resources dedicated to a single organization, offering greater control and customization.
Example: Company X's on-premises data center or a private cloud hosted by a third-party provider exclusively for Company X.
Hybrid Cloud:
Combination of public and private cloud services, enabling data and applications to be shared between them.
Example: Company Y stores sensitive data in a private cloud for security compliance while using public cloud services like AWS for scalable computing resources.
