HOW IMPORTANT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CLOUD IN PRACTICE?
Public cloud
This is the cloud form most people think of when talking about 'working in the cloud'. A public cloud is a single service offered to many customers simultaneously. It is therefore a shared infrastructure, hence the reference to public. Public clouds are especially useful for generic services. Think of the well-known Dropbox, where you can easily back up large files. Google Drive, Evernote, and Microsoft Azure are also examples of public clouds.
