What Is Hybrid Cloud?<\/h2>\n

A hybrid cloud<\/strong> is an IT architecture that combines:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Public cloud<\/strong> (e.g., scalable, on-demand resources)<\/li>\n
  • Private cloud or on-premise infrastructure<\/strong> (for control and security)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This approach allows businesses to move workloads between environments based on their needs.<\/p>\n
