Cloud Models
Distinguish between various cloud models and how they compare to each other in this lesson.
Cloud models
The ability for enterprises to select the cloud deployment model that best satisfies their unique needs and requirements is made possible by various cloud computing models. Cloud models provide varying degrees of control, flexibility, and security, which may affect how well a given model suits a given application or workload. For example, Microsoft Azure offers several different cloud models to meet its customers' needs:
Public
Private
Hybrid
Public cloud
The hardware, software, and other supporting infrastructure are all owned and managed by a third-party hosting company, often called a cloud provider. Microsoft Azure is an example of a cloud provider. Other similar cloud providers are Amazon Web Services(AWS), provided by Amazon, and Google Cloud Platform(GCP), provided by Google. The public cloud is typically regarded as the cloud model with the most flexibility compared to the private. Numerous computing resources, including virtual machines, storage, and databases, are available from public cloud providers on a pay-per-use or subscription basis. These resources may be launched and de-provisioned fast and efficiently, enabling businesses to instantly scale their infrastructure up or down as necessary. In addition, organizations have great flexibility thanks to this self-service, on-demand architecture, which allows them to modify their computer capacity to accommodate shifting workloads or demands.
Furthermore, a variety of pre-built services and tools are available from public cloud providers, making developing and deploying applications simple and rapid. This can be especially helpful for businesses that want to test new services or apps without investing in expensive on-premises infrastructure or requiring high technical know-how.
The public cloud, however, might not be the best choice for all businesses. Organizations with sensitive data or those subject to strict regulations, for instance, can prefer a private or hybrid cloud, where they have more control over the infrastructure and can uphold more stringent security standards. ...
