Public Cloud
A Public Cloud is a type of computing service offered over the internet, where resources like storage and applications are made available to anyone who wants to use them. These services are provided by companies such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Users typically pay for what they use, making it a flexible and cost-effective option for businesses and individuals.
In a public cloud, the infrastructure is owned and managed by the service provider, which means users do not need to invest in physical hardware or maintenance. This allows for easy scalability, as users can quickly increase or decrease their resources based on demand, making it ideal for varying workloads and projects.
