Public Cloud Services: Scalable, Internet-Based Services at Your Fingertips
A public cloud is a cloud computing model where a third-party provider offers shared computing resources—such as servers, storage, and applications—over the internet. Rather than owning hardware, businesses access on-demand infrastructure, paying only for what they use.
How It Works
- Providers operate large data centres and rent out resources.
- Users access services via the internet, billed based on usage, much like utilities.
What You Get
Depending on what you need, public cloud services offers:
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Virtual machines, storage, network.
- Platform as a Service (PaaS): Build and deploy without managing servers.
- Software as a Service (SaaS): Ready-to-use apps like email and storage platforms.
