Context
Public cloud refers to Internet-based computing services provided by third parties that can be provided for free or paid for on demand based on CPU cycles, storage or bandwidth usage. They also present challenges such as reduced internal controls, data security concerns, connectivity issues, limited customisation, and potential compliance barriers. Organisations must weigh these factors when considering public cloud services. Public cloud refers to computing services that third-party cloud providers offer over the internet. Public cloud computing resources can be free or payable on the basis of CPU cycle usage, storage, or bandwidth consumed.

Analysis
Companies choose public clouds to build cloud computing and storage capacity because of their ability to cut costs and achieve scalability. Now, let’s look at how public cloud works. Also read: What is a multi cloud strategy and why use it? The public cloud uses a multi-tenant model to enable users to lease and use the same computing services over the internet. Unlike a traditional on-premise IT architecture, public cloud deployment doesn’t require users to deal with IT resource management complexities. Users have the necessary means to handle infrastructure as code. Companies or individuals using public cloud services rely on a third-party provider for on-demand IT resources. It’s the service provider’s job to share these scalable resources using a dedicated network or the public internet. Public cloud computing is also known as utility computing since it delivers computing capabilities like any other utility service provider.
Key Points
- The public cloud uses a multi-tenant model to enable users lease and use the same computing services over the internet.
- The main benefits of hosted private clouds include scalability, exclusivity and control, enhanced security, and more.
