It’s provided on-demand, typically on a pay-as-you-go or subscription basis, enabling users from individuals to enterprises to use high-end computing capabilities without requiring direct management of the underlying hardware or software.
There are several types of clouds and cloud services that can be identified, including:
1. Public Cloud: Services offered over the public internet and available to anyone willing to pay for them. Major public cloud providers include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
2. Private Cloud: The cloud infrastructure is exclusively used by a single organization. It can be hosted internally or by a third party, providing more control over resources and better security.
3. Hybrid Cloud: A combination of public and private clouds, designed to allow data and applications to be shared between them. This setup offers greater flexibility and more deployment options.
