● Offers higher security but can be more costly
Hybrid Cloud
● Combines private and public cloud resources
● Requires strict data hosting rules for security
Community Cloud
● Resources and costs shared among multiple organizations with common service needs
● Challenges include varying security controls among organizations
Multi-Tenancy
● Same resources used by multiple organizations for efficiency
● Security concerns include shared vulnerabilities
Single-Tenancy
● Single organization assigned to a resource
● Less efficient and more expensive than multi-tenancy
