Choosing a cloud type

Public, private, hybrid or multi-cloud? Which cloud deployment model is the best for you? It all depends on your business, but let me break it down for you. You don't always have to go all in with public cloud or a single cloud provider. You have options. You can go hybrid or you can go multi-cloud. A hybrid cloud deployment model combines public cloud hosting from a cloud provider like Microsoft with a private cloud internal to a business. You can use this model if you want to keep your sensitive data in a private cloud and other data and applications in public cloud to leverage public cloud benefits. If you don't want a vendor lock-in or like to leverage best features of multiple cloud offerings, you might want to explore the multi-cloud deployment option using the services from various cloud providers like AWS, Oracle, Microsoft, or Google.
