The trend towards multi-cloud computing is gaining momentum as companies seek flexibility, cost savings, performance improvements, compliance with regulatory requirements, and security benefits by deploying applications on multiple cloud platforms. This shift is driven by the need for companies to match different public and private clouds to their workloads, and to unify public clouds and on-premise clusters through software stacks such as Google Anthos, Azure Stack, and AWS Outposts. New multi-cloud native applications and platforms are emerging that aim to simplify IT management and application development, allowing users to execute jobs across different cloud platforms without committing to a specific cloud provider. These platforms provide upfront cost estimates, abstract away cloud computing resources, and enable companies to build analytic and AI applications that use data stored across multiple cloud platforms while maintaining data privacy. As the trend towards multi-cloud continues, cloud providers will need to adapt to address the needs of multi-cloud companies, including highlighting performance and cost benefits, ease of use, and better tools for managing privacy and security.
