Public cloud
Computing services shared across customers and provided over the internet by a cloud company
What's it for?
Lets organisations rent shared online computing services without building and running the underlying platform themselves.
For example…
The company runs email and collaboration tools on a well-known public cloud provider
A startup runs its application on AWS public-cloud services shared across the provider's customers rather than buying its own server hardware
Think of it like…
Using a public utility: many customers share the same large infrastructure behind the scenes
