Choose the cloud architecture that suits you best
There is no one size fits all cloud architecture. Developing the optimum cloud strategy requires evaluating your business needs and aligning them with the different solutions available.
Canonical fully supports public clouds and provides its own infrastructure solutions for private cloud implementation and management, as well as workload orchestration in hybrid cloud and multicloud environments.
Optimise your cloud infrastructure
A private cloud provides organisations with on-demand compute, storage and other resources that can be accessed over the network and that are reserved exclusively for them - either in their own data centre or via a 3rd party.

In a public cloud environment, compute, storage and other infrastructure resources are provided as a service by an external provider.

A hybrid cloud architecture is one that combines the usage of a private cloud and one or more public cloud services with a workload orchestration engine between the platforms.

A multicloud architecture can be considered as a relative of the hybrid cloud. It is a combination of multiple private, public or hybrid clouds.
The multicloud architecture is quickly being seen as the de-facto cloud strategy for enterprises, with 81% of businesses working with more than one cloud provider.

An edge cloud is a micro cloud run outside of the data centre, which brings computation and data storage closer to the location it's needed.
