FAQs
Multi-cloud is a model of cloud computing that uses a combination of cloud computing services from more than one public vendor to distribute applications and services. Adopting the cloud in this way offers greater technology flexibility and vendor choice, allowing organisations to pick and choose the capabilities that best meet their requirements without vendor lock-in.
A multi-cloud strategy also ensures higher availability and disaster recovery capabilities. By distributing workloads across multiple clouds, businesses can minimise the risk of downtime due to a single point of failure. This redundancy is crucial for maintaining uninterrupted operations, which is essential for business continuity. A multi-cloud approach also improves compliance and governance by allowing businesses to meet various regulatory requirements across different regions and industries.
A multi-cloud architecture can be complex, after all, you’re picking and choosing elements of the cloud from multiple places. Of course, ensuring cloud workload portability can sometimes mean restricting technology choices to the services that will be available on all chosen cloud providers, and restricting use of some of the more advanced cloud-native functionality that would otherwise only be available with a single hyperscaler.
Multi-cloud generally works by distributing applications and services across multiple clouds, while leveraging load balancing techniques in the front-end or integrating solutions as one in the back end. Multi-cloud management platforms can be provisioned as one whole solution using modern delivery tools and techniques.
In more simple terms, multi-cloud environments typically function on three pillars:
- Self-service and automation – allowing businesses to choose the optimal environment for deploying apps, data, and services
- Single management and control plane – enabling easier cloud consumption and full visibility across cloud environments so businesses can implement greater controls and manage costs
- Centralised security platform – giving organisations the ability to implement consistent policies across cloud environments to manage security and data governance requirements
The terms multi-cloud and hybrid cloud can be confusing, but they both have different meanings. Multi-cloud refers to the combination of multiple public clouds, for example utilising both Microsoft Azure and AWS services. Hybrid cloud, on the other hand, combines private cloud solutions, such as VMWare, and public cloud environments. Multi-cloud environments can also be classed as hybrid cloud if they use both private and public cloud.
There are several benefits to choosing a multi-cloud solution, including mitigating the risk of platform attacks or outages, optimising costs, or leveraging best-in-class services from different platforms. Some businesses might also choose to utilise a particular cloud for a workload due to technical reasons or capabilities not offered by another cloud provider.
