Your Multicloud Strategy Is Wrong

Cloud Computing Insider

Successful multicloud deployment isn't about adopting multiple clouds—it's about using them strategically while addressing hidden challenges. Most enterprises underestimate data gravity costs, integration complexities, and governance differences across providers. Security protocols, automation, and FinOps also require cloud-specific approaches, and network costs can quickly spiral without proper planning.

The reality? Multicloud often costs 2x the budget and takes far longer than expected. Success demands clear business objectives, independent cloud expertise, and a focus on loose coupling between platforms. Plan for redundancy and embrace the complexities upfront—ignorance will cost you far more later. Multicloud done right requires pragmatism, not marketing hype.
