Multi-cloud made simple: a practical guide to reducing risk without adding complexity

In response to a significant cloud service disruption, the guide provides a structured, multicloud strategy for CIOs and CTOs aimed at reducing risk while maintaining cost efficiency. It emphasizes the importance of region choice, portability, and disaster recovery, underscoring that multicloud should not be seen as a seamless failover solution but rather as a tool for disaster recovery and sovereignty. The plan is broken into phases over 90 days, focusing on making restoration predictable, establishing governance, and enhancing observability. It includes specific steps for creating tested restoration paths, implementing policy-as-code, and conducting regular drills to ensure readiness. The Upsun platform is highlighted as a tool to standardize delivery and support business continuity planning, offering features such as Git-driven environment definitions and automatic preview environments. The guide stresses the importance of financial discipline and measuring key metrics like RTO, RPO, and change failure rates to demonstrate resilience improvement and risk management.
