Why each option
A public cloud implementation is owned and maintained by a single provider, shares its infrastructure among multiple organizations, and delivers services over the internet.
Public clouds operate on a multi-tenant model where the underlying infrastructure is owned and maintained by a cloud provider, but its resources are logically shared among multiple client organizations.
While public clouds offer significant flexibility, an organization cannot 'fully' customize the underlying network infrastructure as that is managed by the cloud provider, unlike a private cloud.
Services in a public cloud are delivered over the public internet, allowing users to access them from anywhere with an internet connection without needing direct physical access to the infrastructure.
A public cloud serves multiple organizations (multi-tenant), not just one company, which would instead describe a single-tenant private cloud deployment.
This describes a hybrid cloud model, combining resources from a third-party public cloud provider with privately-owned virtual resources, rather than solely a public cloud.
