Public Cloud
Public Cloud is a type of Cloud computing where the IT infrastructure is hosted by a third-party service provider and available for use by multiple organisations over the internet.
Public Cloud is the Cloud form that most people think of when ‘working in the Cloud’ is mentioned. A Public Cloud is a service offered to many customers at the same time. This makes it a shared infrastructure. Public Cloud is especially useful for generic services. Think of the well-known Dropbox where you can back up large files in a simple way. Google Drive, Evernote and Microsoft Azure are also examples of services delivered from a Public Cloud. Through the convenience of a credit card and a laptop, you can easily set up a Public Cloud based on all your needs. Public Cloud is also often accompanied by programming interfaces (APIs): this ensures that the Public Cloud can also be very well integrated into existing environments and processes.
The Public Cloud provider determines the terms of service. As a user, you have no influence on this. One advantage is that you do not have to maintain the system yourself. Updates and changes are made automatically. A disadvantage is that the software or data resides entirely on servers of the external service provider. This means that it is not always known where exactly your data is.
Unlike a Private Cloud, where the infrastructure is used by one organisation, a Public Cloud is shared by multiple users and managed by a third-party service provider.
A Public Cloud is suitable for organisations that need scalability, flexibility and cost efficiency in their IT infrastructure and do not have data that needs to comply with privacy laws and regulations. If you prefer to be sure that your data is secure, you should move to a sovereignCloud.

With AWS Public Cloud by Fundaments, we offer the best of both worlds: the knowledge of Fundaments and the flexibility of AWS. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is one of the biggest players in the market when it comes to Public Cloud. The possibilities on this platform are very diverse and growing almost daily. Fundaments offers support in the use of all available services (more than 1,200 currently) and the transition to AWS Public Cloud. All this to provide your business-critical application with the right platform using a future-oriented strategy as a basis.
Fundaments offers two variants within AWS Public Cloud: Services on AWS and VMware Cloud on AWS. Both products are based on the AWS data centres. VMware Cloud on AWS leverages the VMware technology stack in the AWS data centre; this option is well suited to make a start towards Public Cloud with AWS, originating from a platform with VMware technology. By keeping VMware's virtualisation layer the same, migration is easy and a gradual transition to AWS Services can be initiated from the VMware on AWS environment.
With VMware Cloud on AWS, you can easily move your VMware infrastructure to AWS while maintaining the same technology. The unique collaboration between AWS and VMware has made it possible to move your VMware workloads to an AWS data centre without having to change anything in the application and server landscape. This option allows you to easily establish a fallback to a public Cloud, or alternatively transition to the public Cloud with an intermediate step.
