A hybrid cloud is a cloud deployment model that has on-premises and off-site data. A hybrid cloud is

a combination of public and private clouds that are connected by a common network and share data

and applications. A hybrid cloud allows an organization to leverage the benefits of both public and

private clouds, such as scalability, cost-efficiency, security, and control. A hybrid cloud also enables

an organization to move workloads and data between the clouds based on performance, availability,

compliance, and cost requirements. For example, an organization can use a private cloud for

sensitive data and applications, and a public cloud for less critical data and applications, or for

temporary or seasonal workloads. A hybrid cloud can also provide backup and disaster recovery

solutions by replicating data and applications between the clouds. Reference: CompTIA Cloud
