Private cloud

As explained in Acing the CCNA Exam: Volume 2 Advanced Networking and Security

A private cloud is a cloud deployment model in which cloud infrastructure is reserved for use by a single organization and its authorized consumers.

A private cloud reserves cloud infrastructure for one organization and its authorized consumers, such as departments within a government agency or large business. External organizations cannot use those resources. The infrastructure may be located on or off the organization’s premises and may be owned by a third-party provider. section 17.3.3

Distinguish private cloud deployment by these operational characteristics:

• Restricts access to consumers within one organization rather than opening resources to the general public. section 17.3.3
• Separates cloud location from deployment model: private infrastructure can be on premises or hosted elsewhere. section 17.3.3
• Allows third-party ownership or operation while preserving exclusive organizational use. section 17.3.3
• Contrasts with public, community, and hybrid cloud deployment models. section 17.4

Hosted private cloud

AWS provides private cloud services for the US Department of Defense, keeping those resources separate from AWS’s public cloud. section 17.3.3
