Qu'what is cloud public?

What is the difference between Cloud private and Cloud public? The cloud public is a space createdé by a company (provider) in which resources such as applications and storage are available. The service provider that owns this virtual space rents its resources - such as virtual machines - to companies for a period of time determined by the latter.

The resources allocated and the processing power are flexible. They can vary according to the customer's needs in the'in space and time.
