multi-cloud
Vendor-diversified computing strategy
Multi-cloud describes a computing strategy that uses cloud services from multiple providers rather than relying on a single vendor: Their multi-cloud approach combines AWS for storage with Google Cloud for analytics.
Organizations adopt multi-cloud setups to avoid vendor lock-in, improve resilience, or leverage each provider's strengths.
The term distinguishes from hybrid cloud, which mixes public cloud with private infrastructure.
