Which cloud deployment model is best described as an environment where the underlying infrastructure is shared among organizations with common regulatory, performance, or security concerns and may be hosted by a third-party service provider?
A community cloud is provisioned for exclusive use by a specific community of consumers from organizations that share common concerns (e.g., compliance or security requirements). According to the NIST definition, it may be owned, managed, and operated by one or more of the community organizations, a third party, or a combination of them, and it can reside on or off premises. This distinguishes it from a public cloud (open to the general public), a private cloud (dedicated to a single organization), and a hybrid cloud (a composition of two or more distinct cloud infrastructures).
