Hybrid cloud is actually straightforward. It’s simply the combination of private-cloud resources in a private data center with additional resources in a public-cloud platform such as Azure or AWS. Those resources can operate independently under different management consoles (often called multicloud), or they can work together under the same console, per the user‘s preference. Although some companies, particularly those founded in the last few years, pursue a 100% public-cloud strategy instead of installing their IT infrastructure in a private data center, many others are pursuing hybrid- or multicloud strategies. There are some good reasons for that approach.
