Oops, We’re Multicloud: A Hitchhiker's Guide To Surviving
Blog post from Humanitec
Adopting a multicloud setup can be justified by several valid reasons, including avoiding cloud vendor lock-in, feature and pricing optimization, compliance and risk minimization, legal requirements, edge computing, and challenges specific to certain industries. However, multicloud environments also come with significant challenges such as skill shortages for cloud specialists, the lack of a single interface, management of multiple delivery and deployment processes, integration, portability, and interoperability issues, cloud sprawl, security concerns, siloed vendor features and services, and disruptions to application development workflows. To survive these challenges, standardization, defining a single source of truth for configurations, abstracting multi-cloud from application developers, and leveraging internal developer platforms can be effective strategies.
