I have a small confusion between docker hub and docker cloud. I have docker images that I need to be installed in the client server and run the containers. I believe this can be done using docker hub which allows to push and pull docker images in my private repository. So what is the use of docker cloud? Is it to store the images in my own aws account rather than storing it in docker hub? The container needs to be installed in the client server, so what do I need to use, docker hub or docker cloud?

Docker Hub is a cloud-hosted version of Docker Registry. A Docker user can opt for Docker Registry, which is a stateless, open source and scalable server-side application, if they prefer to maintain the storage and distribution of Docker images instead of relying on Docker's service.
Docker Cloud uses Docker Hub as its native registry for storing both public and private repositories. Once you push your images to Docker Hub, they will be available in Docker Cloud. Additional reading: Overview of Docker Cloud.
Yesterday, the team at Docker announced that Docker Store and Docker Cloud are now part of Docker Hub. This makes the process of finding, storing and sharing container images easy.
Docker in cloud computing is a tool that is used to automate the deployment of applications in an environment designed to manage containers. It is a container management service. These containers help applications to work while they are being shifted from one platform to another.
For your needs, you should probably go with Docker Hub.
The Docker Cloud has more added features and so it is more extensive than Docker Hub. It seems like Docker Cloud is built on top of Docker Hub to provide a more comprehensive solution in the Docker eco-system.
However, when it comes to the core feature of fetching/storing images to and from your Docker repository, it's still primarily powered by Docker Hub considering this statement from the Docker Cloud docs:
Docker Cloud uses Docker Hub as its native registry for storing both public and private repositories. Once you push your images to Docker Hub, they will be available in Docker Cloud.
