The demand for cloud computing has given rise to different types of cloud deployment models. These models are based on similar technology, but they differ in scalability, cost, performance, and privacy.

It is not always clear which cloud model is an ideal fit for a business. Decision-makers must factor in computing and business needs, and they need to know what different deployment types can offer.

Read on to learn about the five main cloud deployment models and find the best choice for your business.

What is Cloud Deployment?

Cloud deployment is the process of building a virtual computing environment. It typically involves the setup of one of the following platforms:

• SaaS (Software as a Service)
• PaaS (Platform as a Service)
• IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)

Deploying to the cloud provides organizations with flexible and scalable virtual computing resources.

A cloud deployment model is the type of architecture a cloud system is implemented on. These models differ in terms of management, ownership, access control, and security protocols.

The five most popular cloud deployment models are public, private, virtual private (VPC), hybrid, and community cloud.

• Public Cloud
• Private Cloud
• Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
• Community Cloud
• Hybrid Cloud
