Why Multi-Cloud?
A multi-cloud strategy uses services from multiple cloud providers — AWS, Azure, GCP, Huawei Cloud — to avoid vendor lock-in, increase resilience, and leverage best-of-breed services.
Key Benefits
- No Vendor Lock-in: Freedom to choose the best service from each provider
- High Availability: Redundancy across multiple platforms
- Cost Optimization: Compare pricing and use the most economical option
- Compliance: Meet data residency requirements across regions
- Best-of-Breed: Azure for enterprise, AWS for compute, GCP for data/AI
Challenges
Complexity in management, networking, security policies, and consistent monitoring require a unified platform approach like Terraform or Kubernetes for orchestration.
