Cloud deployment models
Cloud deployment models
1- Public cloud
Public cloud is a model where computing resources (servers, storage, databases, etc.) are
hosted by a third-party provider (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and accessed via the
internet. Organizations share the infrastructure but maintain data isolation.
● For startups and small businesses that want to avoid high initial investments.
● For applications requiring rapid scalability.
● For projects needing temporary computing power.

2- Private Cloud
Private cloud is a dedicated infrastructure exclusively used by a single organization. It can be
hosted on-premises or by a third-party provider.
● For companies with strict security and compliance requirements (banks, healthcare,
government).
● For AI models requiring full control over data and computing power.
● When performance optimization is critical.

Success stories
● Tesla: Uses a private cloud for training its autonomous driving AI.
● JPMorgan Chase: Deploys a private cloud for AI-powered fraud detection.
3- Community cloud
A community cloud is shared between multiple organizations with similar needs. It allows
systems and services to be accessible by a group of organizations. It is a distributed system
that is created by integrating the services of different clouds to address the specific needs of a
community, industry, or business. The infrastructure of the community could be shared between
the organization which has shared concerns or tasks. It is generally managed by a third party or
by the combination of one or more organizations in the community.

4- Hybride cloud
By bridging the public and private worlds with a layer of proprietary software, hybrid cloud
computing gives the best of both worlds. With a hybrid solution, you may host the app in a safe
environment while taking advantage of the public cloud’s cost savings. Organizations can move
data and applications between different clouds using a combination of two or more cloud
deployment methods, depending on their needs.
