Well, that certainly depends on the nature of your firm, affordability, and needs of the firm. If you want to keep full control in your hands, you may want to go for the private cloud. If money is your main concern, the public cloud is a better option.\u00a0<br \/><br \/><\/p><p>You can try various combinations, like public for one app, private for another, and you can go ahead and apply your permutation and combinations into it. One more viable option for you choose a Hybrid cloud. A Hybrid cloud utilizes the premises of both private and public platforms. Amazon web services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure are a few hybrid platforms for cloud migration.
