For example, through the use of this method, you could gain access to cloud-based services such as machine learning, business intelligence, and development sandboxes, but still have the ability to store your data on your on-premise infrastructure.
This hybrid will allow you to enjoy all of the benefits and services offered by both the cloud and on-premise solutions. However, because it involves two different deployment methods, you may find that it becomes more complex than choosing either cloud or on-premise.
In Figure 8.6, you can see a visualization of how you could split services between the two platforms:

For example, transactions are supported by local applications and the transaction data is hosted in house, with the option to...
