Public cloud is the cloud model you are most likely familiar with and the one most often used as a reference point in discussions about cloud computing.
Your ascent to the public cloud
Public cloud is the most well-known and referenced cloud computing model. Every infrastructure needed - servers, storage, networking and supporting software - is managed and owned by your chosen third-party provider. Your services are accessed by your internal and external users via web-browser, API/SDK or terminal over the internet. Examples of public cloud providers are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform and Redpill Linpro Nordic Cloud (RLNC).

- Trade capital expense for variable expense
- Benefit from massive economies of scale
- Stop guessing capacity
