A hybrid cloud mixes two or more types of cloud environments. It's a combination of public and private clouds that come together to achieve the best of both worlds.
“For a cloud to be truly hybrid, different cloud environments must be closely interconnected with each other, essentially functioning as a combined infrastructure,” the Cloudflare site clarifies.
Hybrid cloud seeks to optimize infrastructure so that the workload between private and public cloud can be better managed.
The operation of public and private clouds that constitute a hybrid cloud does not differ from that of those that are independent. This is how it works, as detailed on the Red Hat website:
1. Multiple computers are connected to each other through a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a virtual private network (VPN), or applications (API).
2. Virtualization, containers, or software-defined storage isolate resources, which can be grouped into data lakes.
3. The management software distributes those resources among the environments where applications can run, which are then deployed as requested, with the help of an authentication service.
Benefits
Agility. DataCloud highlights that a hybrid cloud allows better unification of public and private cloud resources in the same environment, which gives greater agility to processes.
Flexibility. When resource demand shifts, hybrid cloud makes it easier to manage, as companies can scale infrastructure to manage work, as needed.
Security. A report by IBM details that a well-built hybrid cloud can serve secure and mission-critical processes, such as the ability to receive payments from customers (a private cloud service) and secondary processes, such as employee payroll processing (a public cloud service).
Control: The company can better and more effectively control what resources it will maintain in each cloud. Thus, you could maintain a private infrastructure for those processes that, for example, are more sensitive or require less latency.
Cost-Benefit. It is a more cost-effective system because it allows you to scale the environment so that you only pay for the required computing capacity.
