What would make you use a public cloud in your IoT deployments?
There are cases when it is hard (or too expensive) to avoid leveraging the public cloud in IoT solutions. One such scenario is when you provide global services - building and managing worldwide distributed infrastructure introduces a significant effort and might disturb your operations.
What else would make you use a public cloud in your IoT deployments?

I think the most important reason why would I choose a public cloud is "security", beacause it can offer robust security measures. Cloud providers invest heavily in security protocols, encryption, and compliance standards, which can be challenging for individual organizations to match
Please remember about the Shared Responsibility Model (https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/shared-responsibility-model/).
Based on my experience in working with various companies, the cloud introduces more security challenges than it reduces. That is not because "the cloud is insecure" - the underlying cloud infrastructure is as secure as one can make it.
The non-trivial task is to secure systems built using the cloud. The cloud provider is not responsible for keeping those solutions safe.
Thanks for this information, I had the wrong idea then
