Project planning

For any project, project planning is a fundamental phase in the life cycle of any successful endeavor, in any development. This phase involves a series of crucial steps that lay the foundation for smooth and efficient project execution. Each step is vital for ensuring that your multi-cloud project is well-prepared, well-managed, and well-executed.

Throughout this book, we have explored areas of vital interest to get you ready for the multi-cloud ecosystem. The perspectives provided in each of the sections provide a unique consideration to remember when designing a cloud-native application. When you are planning for a cloud-native project, you should have a global view on multiple fields of the multi-cloud realm, compiled in the following figure (Figure 9.1), and evaluate their impact on your cloud-native application. Depending on the business project, some areas may require more attention than others, but you should always consider all areas of multi-cloud, even...
