This episode introduces the four main cloud deployment models: public, private, hybrid, and community. Public clouds provide shared resources over the Internet, private clouds are dedicated to one organization, hybrid clouds combine both, and community clouds are shared among groups with common interests. Each model has distinct benefits and limitations, which are tested on the exam.

Examples include using public cloud for scalable web hosting, private cloud for sensitive internal data, hybrid for combining on-prem control with cloud elasticity, and community cloud for government agencies sharing infrastructure. Troubleshooting considerations include managing integration challenges in hybrid models or ensuring compliance in public deployments. By mastering these models, you’ll be ready to evaluate cloud deployment questions on the exam and support organizational decisions in real-world environments.
