Finance prefers CapEx ownership of gear yet still labels rented public-cloud VMs as 'private cloud' solely because a VPC isolates the network. What misconception should be corrected?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A VPC is a good fence inside the provider's big shared ranch — handy, but still public cloud. Private cloud is a different ownership and tenancy story, often tied to dedicated infrastructure. Do not rename rented public VMs 'private' just because the subnet is yours.
Full Explanation
Virtual private clouds and similar constructs provide logical network isolation inside public cloud; they do not convert the deployment model into private cloud. Private cloud implies dedicated infrastructure/tenancy for one organization, often with different CapEx/control characteristics than rented public VMs. Cloud+ requires separating logical isolation features from deployment-model definitions.
