Types of cloud computing and types of cloud services

 

We often hear talk about cloud services and how much their use has increased in different sectors of life around the world. We have often been asked, or perhaps we have even asked ourselves, which is the most suitable cloud for us. In fact, this is a question that no one can answer for sure. Don’t pretend to ever find two clouds alike. Clouds are unique and do not resemble each other in any way.

However, there are 3 different types of clouds that we can choose from. We are talking about public clouds, private clouds and hybrid clouds. What is each of them, where are they similar and what distinguishes them from one another?

Let’s start and clarify them in turn. While private clouds are the property of only one person, a group or an organization, public clouds are also owned by third parties that offer this service. And while many businesses are in a dilemma whether they should choose between private clouds or public clouds, there are those who embrace hybrid clouds without thinking twice. Hybrid clouds are nothing but a combination of public clouds and private clouds. Many are of the opinion that hybrid clouds are more flexible and have a better result, resulting in a higher yield. They respond and best adapt to the needs of companies and are more efficient.

On the other hand, we also have three types of cloud services: infrastructure as a service (IaaS), Platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS).
