The "State of Multi-cloud 2024" report explores the current landscape and future of multi-cloud adoption, highlighting insights from 300 architects and engineering directors across the US, UK, and Germany. The report identifies that while most public cloud providers are similar, subtle differences can create significant challenges for companies adopting multi-cloud strategies. Despite these hurdles, multi-cloud adoption is increasing, driven by business goals such as regulatory compliance and the desire to avoid vendor lock-in. Approximately half of the surveyed companies are already utilizing multi-cloud, with more than half running at least one workload across multiple clouds. The trend is expected to continue, especially with the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) influencing preparations. The report underscores the technical complexity of multi-cloud deployment but suggests that economic factors and regulatory needs will further drive its adoption.
