Understanding Multi-Cloud Models
- Multi-cloud means using several cloud providers, public and private, for different services.
- People confuse multi-cloud with hybrid, poly, portable, or distributed cloud models, which have distinct meanings.
Real-World Cloud Deployment Examples
- Banks often use hybrid clouds, running customer apps on public clouds but legacy systems on-premise.
- Using different clouds for specific workloads, like AWS and Azure for containers and GCP for ML, illustrates poly cloud.
Why Large Enterprises Go Multi-Cloud
- Large companies often end up multi-cloud due to best-of-breed services, compliance, vendor lock-in avoidance, and geo-availability.
- Acquisitions also cause multi-cloud as merged entities use different cloud providers.
