Today, cloud computing has become a hot topic in the current IT industry. In the early days of cloud computing, the industry was more focused on public cloud services in an attempt to fully utilize new applications and architectures to meet the needs of its customers. However, such a path of development was too radical and could not be unanimously endorsed by customers.
