What is Hybrid Cloud?

A computing environment that combines on-premises infrastructure with public cloud services, allowing data and applications to move between them.

Hybrid cloud architecture connects private data centers with public cloud platforms, enabling organizations to keep sensitive workloads on-premises while leveraging cloud scalability for others. Technologies like Azure Arc, AWS Outposts, and Google Anthos enable consistent management across environments. Benefits include regulatory compliance (keeping data on-premises), cloud bursting for peak demand, gradual migration paths, and workload flexibility. Challenges include network complexity, data synchronization, security consistency, and operational overhead.
