Overview

Multi-cloud environments use a mix of providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud to optimize costs, improve reliability, and avoid being locked into a single vendor's ecosystem.

Benefits

  • Redundancy: If one provider has an outage, services can fail over to another.
  • Best-of-breed: Use the best specific services from each provider (e.g., Google's AI tools with AWS's storage).
  • Compliance: Meet data residency requirements by using providers in specific regions.
