What does "on-premise" mean?
On-premise refers to infrastructure that is physically accessible to the company using it, i.e., unlike the cloud, it is managed in the data center itself. This means that with on-premise solutions, data storage and processing remain with the company and are not located on a cloud provider's system, as is the case with cloud solutions.
On-premise solutions and on-premise software offer the advantage of being individually tailored to the requirements of the company. However, this can also lead to high costs, as investments in the company's own data center, for example, are necessary. In addition, the operational risk for on-premise solutions lies with the company itself and is not borne by the cloud provider, as is the case with cloud solutions.
Hybrid clouds represent a connection between cloud and on-premise solutions.
If you are looking to replace an on-premises solution, you also have the option of setting up a system with Docker images for use in the AWS cloud.
