Which cloud deployment model allows an organization to keep sensitive workloads and data in a private or on-premises environment while "bursting" additional, less-sensitive workloads into a public cloud provider when extra resources are needed?
The hybrid cloud model combines private (on-premises) and public cloud resources into a single environment. This lets an organization retain control of sensitive data on its private infrastructure while moving or scaling other workloads into the public cloud to gain flexibility, capacity, or cost savings.
Private cloud runs entirely on the organization's own infrastructure; public cloud runs entirely on a provider's infrastructure; community cloud is shared among organizations with common concerns. Only hybrid cloud spans both private and public environments and supports workload portability between them.
