Which cloud deployment model involves infrastructure that is shared by several organizations that have common regulatory, security, or policy concerns, and that may be owned, managed, and operated by those organizations, by a third-party provider, or by a combination of the two?
A community cloud is provisioned for exclusive use by a group of organizations that share similar requirements (for example, industry-specific compliance or security controls). Ownership, management, and location are flexible: the cloud can be on-premises or off-premises and can be run by the community members themselves, a third-party provider, or both. Unlike a public cloud, it is not open to the general public, and unlike a private cloud, it is not dedicated to a single organization. A hybrid cloud simply connects two or more distinct cloud infrastructures (private, public, or community) rather than providing a collective environment for a specific community.
