Explanation
Under data privacy frameworks such as GDPR, the data controller is the entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (typically the cloud customer/business), while the data processor acts on behalf of the controller and processes the data (typically the cloud service provider/CSP). The CSP processes, stores, and manages data on behalf of customers, making it the processor. The cloud customer defines what data is collected and why, making them the controller.
