Why would an organization use a hybrid cloud rather than one of the three other types?

This is a follow-up to a previous question. Interviewers in organizations like Amazon will ask follow-up questions if they want to learn more about a topic or have a special interest in the subject. When asked a follow-up question, keep your answer brief and to the point. This also indicates that the Amazon interviewer may have a special interest in this area. You may want to respond to other questions by referencing this topic since it may be important to the organization.

"The benefit of a hybrid cloud is that it offers organizations access to resources that may not be available if they choose to use one of the other three dedicated cloud configurations. An example of this would be having access to specialized software available in the public cloud, which may not be part of a private cloud. A virtual cloud could also give organizations access to a portion of the resources hosted by AWS which they could not afford in a dedicated private, public, or community cloud, such as high-end storage or computing hardware."
