A hybrid cloud is a cloud computing framework where private cloud, on-premises infrastructure and public cloud blend to serve as a single computing ecosystem.
With the public cloud being a major target for hackers, organizations can save their enterprise by adapting quality security practices they deem necessary to their private cloud without losing the gains of the public cloud.
Since the hybrid cloud is a mix of on-premises or private cloud and public cloud, businesses can easily expand the public cloud subscription during scale-up rather than working on a physical data center expansion.
The cloud architect must understand the setup of a business's private cloud and the entire workings of its intended public cloud provider to come up with a quality hybrid cloud configuration.
A hybrid cloud has the configurations to handle big data analytics on the public cloud and falls back on the private cloud to protect sensitive data.
