Choosing the right cloud model
Public, private, and hybrid cloud fit different constraints. Your constraints drive the model choice. Common constraints include cost, control, compliance, and existing on-premises infrastructure.
Deployment vs service models
Deployment is where it runs; service model is how much is managed. Deployment models: public, private, hybrid. Service models: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS). Scenarios can mention both—don't mix them up.
Public cloud
Public cloud is provider-owned and typically shared (multitenant). Owned and operated by a cloud provider. Typically shared across customers (multitenant). Strong fit for speed and rapid scaling.
Public cloud: best-fit clues
Choose public cloud when speed and elasticity matter most. Fast provisioning and experimentation. Easy scale up/down with demand. Lower upfront infrastructure cost. 'Internet-facing' alone isn't the deciding factor.
Private cloud
Private cloud is a dedicated environment for one organization (single-tenant). Dedicated to one organization (single-tenant). Can be on-premises or hosted by a third party. Chosen for control, isolation, and customization.
Private cloud vs traditional on-prem
Private cloud needs cloud-like management, not just private hardware. On-premises does not equal private cloud by default. Private cloud implies self-service and automation. Without cloud-like capabilities: traditional infrastructure.
Hybrid cloud
Hybrid cloud is public plus private or on-prem connected together. Connected mix of public cloud and private or on-prem. Place workloads where constraints allow. Often driven by 'some must stay on-prem' requirements. Can be long-term by design.
Rule of thumb: public vs private vs hybrid
Pick the model that best matches your constraints. Public: speed, elasticity, low upfront infrastructure. Private: dedicated environment, stronger control. Hybrid: connected environments, mixed placement required.
Scenario: unpredictable spikes
Unpredictable demand plus avoid upfront servers equals public cloud. Clue: traffic spikes or unpredictable demand. Clue: avoid buying servers up front. Best match: public cloud.
Scenario: dedicated + tight control
Single-tenant or dedicated requirements equal private cloud. Clue: dedicated or single-tenant required. Clue: tight control of data location and access. Best match: private cloud.
Scenarios: keep on-prem + use cloud services
On-prem constraints plus cloud services together equal hybrid cloud. Clue: sensitive data must remain on-premises. Clue: cloud dev/test, analytics, or machine learning needed. Best match: hybrid cloud.
Pitfalls + quick self-check
Underline the scenario clue that drives your model choice. Pitfall: 'Public is always right'. Pitfall: 'Private equals on-prem hardware'. Pitfall: 'Hybrid equals migration only'.
