Explain IT: Season 7, Episode 13: My Cloud or Yours

Cloud computing, first introduced in the 1960s as the intergalactic computer network, is now essential to our digital existence.

There are lots of cloud options available on the market today. Private Clouds are essentially dedicated environments that offer greater control and security. They are typically used by businesses to store sensitive data and run critical applications. On the other hand, Public Clouds are shared environments managed by industry hyperscalers. These providers offer scalable resources but are accessed by multiple users simultaneously. However, which is best?
