  title: Cloud Deployment Models
  description: Models that describe where cloud infrastructure runs.
  summary: "The ways cloud infrastructure is deployed: public, private, hybrid, community and multi-cloud, plus distributed, edge and sovereign variants and the virtual private cloud network boundary. Each row says who owns and uses the infrastructure."
  use_when[2]: "You are comparing where a workload should run for cost, control or compliance reasons.",You need the standard definition of hybrid versus multi-cloud.
  caveats[2]: Hybrid means mixing private and public infrastructure; multi-cloud means using more than one public provider. The two are often combined.,Sovereign and distributed cloud are recent categories and are used inconsistently by vendors.
