Multicloud is the strategic use of various public and private cloud providers to help optimize costs, performance, and usability, while increasing the scope of features and regions available. It involves picking IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS offerings that can be integrated seamlessly and avoiding single points of failure. Multicloud is not about redundancy or security; rather, it's about strategic utilization of multiple cloud providers to achieve specific goals such as cost optimization, compatibility, functionality, and usability. It's also a means to address compliance and geolocation requirements, and to provide flexibility for engineering teams. A well-planned multicloud strategy can help organizations reduce costs, improve performance, and increase agility, but it requires careful planning, research, and implementation to avoid complexity and single points of failure.
