Hybrid-Clouds: How to Go Slow and Haemorrhage Money Doing It
summary
Ministry of Justice adopts a public-cloud-first, pragmatic multi-cloud approach instead of chasing a brokered hybrid layer, running ~40–50 services in public clouds today while tracking ~1,000 total systems (about 50 modern, 950 legacy). Teams build native AWS/Azure platforms (evaluating GCP) and publish reusable patterns-as-code under open source; a recent multi-cloud platform v1.0 ships in about half the time and with roughly one third the codebase versus earlier efforts, cutting developer onboarding from weeks to hours and delivering native services and security controls quickly.
