A hybrid cloud is a combination of public and private clouds that work together. It allows organizations to store sensitive data privately while taking advantage of the flexibility and scalability of public clouds. There are several ways to implement a hybrid cloud, such as using separate providers, a single provider, or combining a private cloud with a public cloud. This lets organizations benefit from security, flexibility, scalability, and cost efficiency. For example, a company could host its e-commerce site privately but use public cloud for experimental sites.
