Multi Cloud Strategy, A Necessary Evil For An Enterprise

on YouTube ↗43m

" summary

Enterprises already run multi clouds — IDC says 81% use multiple public clouds — but complexity is real: expect to use Terraform or Pulumi for provisioning, Datadog or a centralized observability stack for monitoring, Rancher or Google Anthos for multi‑Kubernetes management, and tradeoffs between cloud‑agnostic (portable) and cloud‑specialized (polycloud) designs. The recommended path is a three‑step framework: assess the workload, select technology and topology, establish a cloud operating model with automated governance and cost controls.
