Where I work we are building a private cloud but the hardware will be all provided and managed by one of the main server manufacturers. Its private because no other company will use these servers and they reside within our firewalls. But we rent the infrastructure and are not responsible for maintaining it or capacity management. We are just charged based on our consumption of it.
I would say that to be a cloud it also needs an automation layer on top like openstack or vRA
- mey 10y agoI would agree that would be called private cloud. I guess it needs a definition behind "cloud provider" according to the author. I think hardware solely for your use (including networking/disk) would be my minimum definition, but not bare-metal. I'm coming at this from a security boundary perspective and where liabilities are. Where provisioning of resources can be dynamic and moved.
