When talking about cloud, we actually talk about one of three types of cloud, and

it's important to

know the differences between the three types of cloud that we have.

And the three types are public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud.

And let's begin with public cloud.

So the public cloud is a cloud that is set up in the public network.

It is managed by large companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google and so on.

It is accessible through the Internet.

So we do not need a specialized internal network to access the cloud.

It is also available to all clients and users and not only users of a specific
organization, and the

clients have no access to the underlying infrastructure.

This is similar to what we discussed before in the previous lecture when we said
that either with us

or us, we don't have access to the underlying infrastructure of the cloud.

We can only use resources that are built on this infrastructure.

So this is a public cloud.

The most popular public clouds are aways of Amazon, Azure of Microsoft, Google
Cloud and IBM cloud.

Of course, there are a lot more public cloud such as Oracle, Cloud, Alley, Cloud
and so on.

So this is the public cloud.

Next is private cloud.

Private cloud is a cloud set up in an organization's premises.

It is managed by the organizations Atim and is accessible only in the organizations

network.

So naturally it's available only to users from the organizations.

Other users, other external users that are not members of this organization do not
have access to this

cloud.

This cloud uses private cloud infrastructure and engines, and it usually contains
only a subset of

the public cloud capabilities.

Organizations usually use private cloud for security reasons because they want the
resources and data

to be stored inside the organization premises and they do not want them to be
exposed in the public

cloud.

So some examples of private cloud are VMware cloud, RedHat, open shift and as you
stack next is a

hybrid cloud.

So a hybrid cloud is a cloud that is set up in an organization's premises, but it

is also connected

to the public cloud.

That means that workloads can be separated between the two cloud, for example,
sensitive data in the

organization's premises and public data in the public cloud.

So, for example, the organization can decide that the usernames and passwords and
perhaps even the

credit codes of its users will be stored inside the organization's premises.

But for example, the professional profile of its users, such as the ones in
LinkedIn, will be stored

in the public cloud.

Now, usually hybrid cloud are managed by the public cloud, which is connected to
the private cloud.

But this is not always the case.

And sometimes you can see the other way around so that the private cloud controls
and manages the resources

in the public cloud.

So some examples for hybrid cloud are azure oak and A.W. outposts both extend the
public cloud into

the organization's premises and manage and control these private cloud from the
public cloud.

So these are the three types of cloud we have the public, the private and the
hybrid.

In the viscose, we are going to discuss only the public cloud.

This is the most important type of cloud and this is the main focus of the industry
right now.
