I have yet to read solid case studies of real multi-cloud at scale. E.g. Active-Active load-balanced between multiple providers. Plenty of companies use multiple clouds, but, it tends to be a line of business decision. Team A likes AWS, Team B like Azure etc.
- manigandham 8y agoAgreed, multi-cloud is rather costly and means only using infrastructure services like VMs and storage.
- user5994461 8y agoIt's fairly common. No need to call it multi cloud, companies have had multiple datacenters in multiple countries for a long time. The only challenge is that you need global geographic load balancers and that means F5 and at least a million dollar. Also, you will find out later that some dependencies were only running in a single location and services failed with the datacenter.
- spydum 8y agoI think that’s quite an exaggeration - there are quite a few DNS providers who can do intelligent DNS LB for you and don’t care what your backend is (gcp/AWS/azure/onprem). Won’t even cost you a million bucks.
