Hybrid clouds. A public cloud is standard model which providers make several resources, such as applications and storage, available to the public. Public cloud services may be free or not. In public clouds which they are running applications externally by large service providers and offers some benefits over private clouds. Private Cloud refers to internal services of a business that is not available for ordinary people. Essentially Private clouds are a marketing term for an architecture that provides hosted services to particular group of people behind a firewall. Hybrid cloud is an environment that a company provides and controls some resources internally and has some others for public use. Also there is combination of private and public clouds that called
Hybrid cloud. In this type, cloud provider has a service that has private cloud part which only accessible by certified staff and protected by firewalls from outside accessing and a public cloud environment which external users can access to it. There are three major types of service in the cloud environment: SaaS, PaaS, and laaS [1]. In cloud, similar to every proposed technology, there are some issues which involved it and one of them is RAS factor. For having good and high performance, cloud provider must meet several management features to ensure improving RAS parameters of its service such as:
