Multi-Cloud Strategy

Multi-cloud strategy is the concomitant use of two or more cloud services such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and more.

This means you can use Google cloud to serve your US users and Microsoft Azure for your customers in Europe.

Or you might use Azure SQL for your databases and Cognito for user management while using AWS EC2 instances and Load Balancing, all for a single application.

In addition, you can run your app primarily on Digital Ocean but is completely replicated and backed up on AWS.

You can run different app on different clouds. You can have your development and test environments on one cloud, and your production environment on another.

Multi-cloud management is another aspect, which involves monitoring the cost of cloud deployment. It is important to reap benefits of multi-cloud.

But to take advantage of multi-cloud benefits, it is very important to manage and monitor your cloud deployment and costs.

Multi-cloud strategy is particularly effective if enterprises dealing with below challenges:

• Users are not located near any data center, or widely distributed geographically.
• Facing regulations limit in particular countries for storing data, e.g., EU.
• Environment where public clouds are used with on-premises resources.
• Cloud-based application is not resilient which can affect disaster recovery when loss of a single data center.
