Cloud Computing

Cloud deployment models determine how cloud resources are allocated, managed, and accessed. The main types are:

Public Cloud: Resources are owned by third-party providers (like AWS, Azure, GCP) and shared among multiple tenants. Ideal for scalable and cost-effective solutions.
Private Cloud: Exclusive to one organization, either on-premises or hosted elsewhere, offering greater control and security. Suitable for sensitive data.
Hybrid Cloud: Combines public and private clouds, allowing data and applications to move between them seamlessly. Provides flexibility and optimization.
Community Cloud: Shared by several organizations with similar needs and compliance requirements.

Diagram Example:

+----------------+       +-------------------------+
| Public Cloud   |       | Private Cloud           |
| (AWS, Azure)   |       | (On-premises or hosted) |
+----------------+       +-------------------------+
          |                         |
          +----------+--------------+
                     |
                Hybrid Cloud
           (Integration of both)

Choosing the right model depends on your security needs, scalability, and compliance standards.
