Abstract

Organizations adopt different cloud deployment models depending on their operational and security requirements. This paper presents a comparative study of public, private, and hybrid cloud computing models based on cost, scalability, security, flexibility, and performance. Public clouds provide cost-effective and scalable services, while private clouds offer greater control and security. Hybrid clouds combine the advantages of both models to support flexible enterprise operations. The paper analyzes real-world use cases and concludes that hybrid cloud architectures are becoming the preferred solution for modern organizations.
