To drive better outcomes using hybrid cloud architectures, it helps to understand their benefits—and how to orchestrate them seamlessly. What is hybrid cloud architecture? Hybrid cloud architecture is a computing environment that shares data and applications on a combination of public clouds and on-premises private clouds.
