Designing for multi-cloud

Alright, to make this topic more interesting, we will be using metaphors. So, let's get started. Imagine you’re a globe-trotter setting out on a worldwide journey. You’ve got a map, a backpack filled with essentials, and an adventurous spirit. However, instead of just one map to guide you, you’ve got maps for different regions that have unique terrains, climates, and cultures. Navigating through this diverse landscape requires a keen understanding of these differences and a strategy to effectively use your resources across multiple regions.

Designing applications for multi-cloud environments presents a similar challenge. With a plethora of cloud providers that each offer unique capabilities and features, designing applications for a multi-cloud environment can feel like navigating through multiple maps at once. It’s an expedition into an intricate landscape of platforms and services that each have their own set of rules...
