Multicloud incorporates workload, data, traffic and workflow portability options, exhibiting differing implementation complexities.
[2][3][4][5] When effectively implemented, multicloud solutions can enhance architectural resilience, reduce dependence on a single vendor, and improve flexibility by leveraging services from different providers.
However, multicloud strategies also present challenges, including increased operational complexity, security risks, higher costs, and integration difficulties.
Multicloud can also be a good way to hedge against the risks of obsolescence, as it allows you to rely on multiple vendors and open standards, which can prolong the life of your systems.
[7] Additional benefits of the multicloud architecture include adherence to local policies that require certain data to be physically present within the area/country, geographical distribution of processing requests from physically closer cloud unit which in turn reduces latency and protect against disasters.
