Public Cloud is a delivery method for IT resources over the Internet. Public Cloud resources are available to everyone to buy and are delivered from shared infrastructure. Examples include Google Gmail and Microsoft Outlook email services. Even though Public Cloud services are available for anyone to use, they still provide security for users and separation of data. The public in the name does not mean your data is open to everyone, but rather the service is available to everyone.
