Hybrid-Cloud Deployment
Discussion
A Hybrid-Cloud Deployment is an Infrastructure Deployment that deploys related subjects across an identified combination of cloud and non-cloud Infrastructure Environments.
The participating Infrastructure Environments may include:
-
A public-cloud environment
-
A private-cloud environment
-
An on-premises environment
-
A provider-managed environment
-
A privately operated environment
The deployment subjects may include:
A Hybrid-Cloud Deployment differs from a multi-cloud deployment:
-
A Hybrid-Cloud Deployment combines cloud and non-cloud Infrastructure Environments
-
A multi-cloud deployment uses Infrastructure Environments supplied through more than one cloud provider
A deployment may be both hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud.

Note
A Hybrid-Cloud Deployment does not by itself prescribe:
-
The participating cloud provider
-
The type of non-cloud environment
-
The network relationship among environments
-
The placement of deployment subjects
-
The identity or security model
-
The synchronization mechanism
-
The operational authority for each environment
The applicable deployment specification defines those details.
Example
Crucible performs a Hybrid-Cloud Deployment by deploying a Kubernetes Cluster and Platform Services to a cloud Infrastructure Environment while deploying a Containerized Workload to an on-premises Infrastructure Environment.
