Multi cloud is almost always more pain than gain. You’d spend time and effort abstracting away the value that a cloud provider brings in canned services.
Hell, multi region is often more than many workloads need.
- halbritt 8y agoMy entire infrastructure is on k8s which should make multi-cloud easy... Nope.
- scarface74 8y agoSo you’re not using any managed services?
- halbritt 8y agoOther than kubernetes and object storage, no.
- eknkc 8y agoIt could work then. We had the same setup. Also, we store everything on S3 but there is a lambda function that pushes new objects to Google Cloud storage too. We figured, storage is cheap so we can duplicate things and it will make moving to GCP a lot easier. This was a while back though. Now we depend on a lot more AWS stuff.
- halbritt 8y agoAt one point, I was maintaining clusters in AWS, Azure, and GCP. It was a more work than I anticipated, for very little benefit. Cluster administration and identity management are unique to each provider and fairly challenging to get right.
