A hybrid cloud model combines both on-premises infrastructure (or private cloud) with public cloud services, with orchestration between the two. This allows businesses to scale computing resources and also provides the flexibility to have on-premises infrastructure that supports average workloads while utilizing the cloud for peak loads or additional resources. The scenario described involves an on-premises data center integrated with an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider via a private connection, exemplifying a hybrid cloud by utilizing both private (on-premises data center and private direct connection) and public (IaaS) cloud environments​​.
