Question

🔹 Hybrid Cloud Definition: A combination of private cloud + public cloud (sometimes also on-premise). Goal: Integrate workloads so that sensitive data/apps stay in private, while less sensitive/scalable workloads run in public. Integration: Strong focus on interoperability (the two environments are connected). Example: A hospital keeps patient records in a private cloud (for compliance), but uses AWS public cloud for running an analytics app. 🔹 Multi-Cloud Definition: Using two or more public cloud providers (e.g., AWS + Azure + Google Cloud). Goal: Avoid vendor lock-in, optimize costs, use the best features of each provider. Integration: Not necessarily interconnected — workloads may run separately on different providers. Example: A company uses AWS for storage, Azure for machine learning, and Google Cloud for big data analytics.
