Hybrid Cloud
In plain terms
Combining private (on-premises) and public cloud resources.
Going deeper
Hybrid cloud links on-premises infrastructure with public cloud so workloads and data move between them as needed. It balances control and scalability.
Under the hood
Keeps sensitive workloads on-prem while bursting to public cloud; networking and consistency are challenges.
Examples
Enterprises, regulated industries, cloud bursting, gradual migration.
Think of it like...
Like owning a home office but renting extra space when you need to scale up.
