Hybrid cloud is a cloud computing environment which uses a mix of on-premise private cloud and public cloud services with seamless orchestration between platforms. While some of the organizations are looking to put selective IT functions on to a public cloud, they still prefer keeping the higher-risk or more bespoke functions in a private/on-premise environment. This is what we can call a hybrid cloud solution. It is not necessary to go the whole mile, for example - some organizations use cloud services for archiving old data but keep operational data closer to within the organization.
Best-fit infrastructures
Sometimes the best infrastructure for an app requires both - cloud and dedicated environments. That's why we need to create a truly hybrid environment - so that an organization can connect public cloud, private cloud and the dedicated hardware to create the best fit for the desired business needs. - that are:
A hybrid cloud configuration offers the following features:
Hybrid cloud is particularly valuable for highly changeable / dynamic workloads. For example, a transactional order entry system which involves significant demand around the holiday season is a good hybrid cloud candidate. The application could run in private but can access additional computing resources from a public cloud when there is a spike in computing the demand. To connect both public and private cloud resources, this model requires a hybrid cloud environment.
Another hybrid cloud use case is big data processing. An organization, for example, could use hybrid cloud storage to retain its test, accumulated business, sales and various other data, then run analytical queries in the public cloud, which can scale to support the demand in distributed computing tasks.
