Think Like a CTO
A cloud computing environment dedicated to one organization and managed with cloud-style provisioning and resource controls.
- How it is used
- Extends existing hardware investments through usage-based resource management.
- How deep it goes
- Explains benefits, management requirements, and capacity trade-offs without implementation steps.
- Examples
- Uses failing hardware and an exhausted resource pool to illustrate reliability and capacity decisions.
- What you can do after
- Evaluate/understand whether existing hardware and management capacity justify a private cloud.

A private cloud is a cloud deployment model in which cloud infrastructure is reserved for use by a single organization and its authorized consumers.
- How it is used
- Classifies cloud infrastructure by organizational access, ownership, and location.
- How deep it goes
- Defines access, location, and ownership boundaries but does not describe implementation or configuration procedures.
- Examples
- Uses departmental consumers, government organizations, and AWS private cloud services for the US Department of Defense.
- What you can do after
- Evaluate cloud deployments by organizational access, hosting location, and ownership.
