I am learning cloud computing but i am still confused in some basics. While it is accessible from the internet, what exactly makes a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) private? Is it the VPN connection, the solution architecture, or the virtual network?
Is it necessary for it to be an on-prem solution boosted with some cloud services to be considered a VPC?
What's the difference between an application that allows some clients to access it over the internet using cURL or a browser's HTTP/HTTPS protocol in a public cloud and an application in a private cloud?
Suppose a web application is hosted in a public cloud, but it uses a private network to establish network connections between some services, such as invoking some analytical jobs. Is that part considered a private cloud?
If so, what if a third party wants to use the analytics results of my application? Is it still considered a private cloud?
I have a basic understanding of the cloud and have done some labs with scaling options, private network firewalls, and load balancers. However, the distinction between private and public clouds remains unclear to me. Could you please clarify?
