public cloud
Rented computing infrastructure
Public cloud refers to computing infrastructure—servers, storage, networking—owned by a third party and shared among multiple customers over the internet.
Companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google operate public clouds, renting capacity on demand rather than requiring users to build their own data centers.
Contrasts with private cloud, where infrastructure is dedicated to a single organization.
We migrated our applications to the public cloud to reduce costs.
