Deployment Models (On premises / Cloud / Hybrid) for Tech+
Short answer
Deployment models describe where systems run. On premises - Systems run on organization-owned/controlled hardware. Cloud - Systems run in a provider's environment. Hybrid - Mix of on premises and cloud. Simple compare: - On premises: more direct control, but you own maintenance. - Cloud: less hardware responsibility, easier scaling, but less direct control. - Hybrid: keep some systems local while using cloud for others. Out of scope: compliance frameworks and advanced security architecture.
