When asked as the Azure cloud interview question you should answer it in the following way. There are various deployment models for the cloud :
* Private Cloud Deployment Model is one where you own the infrastructure and the cloud provider enables you to get the service exclusively.
* Public Cloud Deployment Model is one where you get the multi-tenant infrastructure from the service provider exclusively.
* Hybrid Cloud Deployment Model is a set up of intermixed public and private data in which the confidential data will be served in-house and the public directed website is there to address the public.
