How to Use IaC to Optimize Your Multicloud Strategy

Multicloud refers to an approach where workloads are distributed between different cloud vendors. This setup can contain public clouds, private ones, or a combination of both (hybrid cloud). Companies may adopt a multicloud approach for various reasons such as flexibility, resilience, disaster recovery, avoiding vendor lock-in, agility, compliance, and cost savings. However, it also has its downsides like increased security costs, more attack surfaces, and the need for more skills. Spacelift is a tool that can help manage multicloud setups by offering features such as multi-IaC approach, connections using short-lived credentials, spaces, blueprints, stacks, stack dependencies, policies, and visualization tools.
