Definition

Using both private (on-premises) and public cloud services together. Like having both a home kitchen and ordering takeout - using the best option for each situation.

Real-World Example

A bank might keep sensitive customer data in their private data center while using public cloud for website hosting and email.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

These offerings enable hybrid cloud by extending public-cloud services, management, and policies to on-premises or edge environments. AWS Outposts brings AWS hardware/services on-prem; Azure Arc and Google Anthos provide centralized management and Kubernetes-based app platforms across on-prem and multiple clouds; OCI Dedicated Region runs OCI cloud services in a customer data center.
