13. Hybrid Cloud
A computing environment that
uses both public and private
clouds in an inter-connected
environment.
Public Cloud
Built, controlled, and maintained
by a third-party cloud provider.
AWS, Azure, GCP
Private Cloud
Hosted on-premises, within a
data center, or can be hosted by a
cloud service provider.
Multi Cloud
Using multiple public cloud
providers. Provides flexibility and
agility.

14. Private Cloud
-Redundancy/resilience
-Avoid vendor lock-in
-Flexibility
-Innovation
Hybrid Cloud
-Data Sovereignty
-Cost optimization
Public Cloud
-Web applications
-Big data analytics platform
-Storing sensitive data
-Healthcare data
-Public security numbers
-Legacy applications
Multi-Cloud

16. Public cloudPrivate cloud
No capital expenditures/ pay for
what you use
Resources are usually reserved
No complete control over resources
and security
Control over resources and security
Quickly provisioned and
deprovisioned
Resources are usually reserved
/ Data is not stored together with
another companies data

•Virtual Machine Scale Sets
•Availability Sets
•Load Balancer
•Azure Storage Redundancy
•Azure Site Recovery (ASR)

29. Using Azure, you can automate resource scaling based on variables,
For example, you can scale an App Service based on the number of active
connections.

39. Using Azure Policy, You are able to enforce compliance and governance.
Azure Policy can be used for data compliance, if you want to ensure that all your
customer data is within say West Europe, You can define a policy which only allows
Azure users to deploy resources to that region only.
Another example for cost saving, If you have a development environment and want to
ensure that there is no expensive machines deployed, you can limit the SKU of VMs
