Public Cloud

Public cloud is a cloud computing model where third-party providers deliver computing resources, such as servers, storage, and applications, over the internet on a pay-as-you-go basis. It enables organizations to access scalable and on-demand IT infrastructure without owning or maintaining physical hardware, with services typically offered through a multi-tenant architecture.

Also known as: Cloud Computing, Cloud Services, Cloud Platform, IaaS/PaaS/SaaS, Cloud Infrastructure

Why learn Public Cloud?

Developers should learn public cloud to build scalable, cost-effective applications that can handle variable workloads, such as web apps, mobile backends, or data analytics platforms. It's essential for modern DevOps practices, enabling rapid deployment, global availability, and integration with managed services like AI/ML tools or serverless computing.
