At CAST AI, a real multi-cloud strategy involves creating, deploying, and moving containerized applications across several clouds while stretching them across multiple clouds simultaneously to minimize latency. This requires identifying geographically close zones with offerings from at least two cloud providers, known as Goldilocks Zones, where balance between cost and performance can be achieved. These zones are characterized by stable transit times under 5ms, 8ms, or 10ms, allowing for optimal deployment of multi-cloud applications that offer cost optimization, performance optimization, disaster recovery, and capacity management benefits. CAST AI has identified multiple Goldilocks Zones across various regions, including 18 clusters with 57 regions between top cloud providers, and has developed an AI engine to assemble these zones based on clustering regions for traffic and stability performance. By leveraging these zones, businesses can implement a multi-cloud strategy that maximizes their cloud resources while minimizing costs and ensuring optimal performance.
