HashiCorp State of Cloud Strategy Survey: Welcome to the Multi-Cloud Era

The inaugural cloud strategy survey reveals that multi-cloud adoption is now the new normal, driven by digital transformation and influenced by skill shortages, security concerns, and COVID-19's impact on the economy. 76% of respondents are already using multi-cloud environments, with larger enterprises being more likely to adopt this approach. Digital transformation initiatives are a top driver of multi-cloud adoption, with 34% citing it as one of their top-three business and technology drivers. However, skill shortages remain a significant challenge, with over half of respondents citing it as a top-three inhibitor. Security is also a key concern, with 47% citing it as a top-three cloud inhibitor, but security issues can also drive cloud adoption forward in some organizations. The pandemic has had a complex impact on cloud adoption, with many organizations already shifting to multi-cloud before the pandemic and others seeing it accelerate their digital transformation initiatives.
