The public cloud, often referred to as the cloud, is a popular model of cloud computing. Cloud service providers leverage the internet and make resources such as infrastructure, storage, and servers available for businesses. Third-party providers own and operate the shared physical hardware and offer it to companies based on their needs. This multi-tenant environment makes it easier to spread the infrastructure costs across a number of users. Companies around the globe are adopting the cloud to take advantage of core characteristics: Cost effectiveness. By using cloud infrastructure, customers do not need to spend large amounts of money on purchasing and maintaining equipment.
