TYPES OF CLOUD SERVICES
Cloud services are divided into four categories on basis of ownership, size and access.
PUBLIC CLOUD
A public cloud is owned by a third party service provider (any organisation) whose services are
easily accessible to the general public. The organisation sells its services to the general public and
organisations. To ensure that no resources provided by them are wasted, the users are supposed
to pay for what they use.
PRIVATE CLOUD
A private cloud is owned by a single company and allows its services to be accessed only within
the company firewall and is not meant for the general public. This is best suited for companies
with dynamic computing needs where they can take control over the environment of their cloud.
