The cloud computing paradigm promises increased flexibility and scalability. However, in private cloud environments this flexibility and scalability is constrained by the limited capacity. On the other hand, organizations are reluctant to migrate to public clouds because they lose control over their applications and data. The concept of a hybrid cloud tries to combine the benefits of private and public clouds, while also decreasing vendor lock-in.
