Creating a Multi-Cloud environment with Azure, AWS & On-premise
A multi-cloud strategy offers the ability to select different cloud services or features from various cloud platforms. This is helpful since some cloud environments are more suitable than others for a particular task. For instance, one cloud platform might handle a large number of requests per unit time, involving few data transfers, while the other cloud platform might perform better for a small number of requests per unit time requiring large data transfers. Few cloud providers also offer specialized big data and machine learning tools or other specific capabilities, like cognitive services by Azure and machine learning by AWS. Most enterprises pursue a multi-cloud strategy due to uncertain cloud redundancy, reliability, and vendor lock-in.
