Private Cloud
Public cloud represents the core cloud characteristics of self-service, elasticity, resource pooling, metering and broad network access based on shared resources.

13. ? Cloud – Two Perspectives Public Cloud Platform as a Service
Consumer’s Perspective
Describe what they want, not how it is achieved
Require a standard interface to the service
Want a transparent, utility-like delivery of their service
Want a clearly defined cost model
Want to easily measure delivery
They think in terms of business, not IT
Want availability and capacity on demand
Provider’s Perspective
They are concerned with providing service efficiently
They want to drive standardisation to reduce costs and simplify operations
They want to use contracts to agree requirements
They aim for reliable, scalable, repeatable and predictable
