What is multicloud?

Multicloud is a cloud computing approach that uses two or more cloud providers. An organization may use different cloud services from different providers for different tasks, or may use multiple providers for redundancy.

Benefits of multicloud

Multicloud strategies help avoid vendor lock-in, improve resilience through redundancy, enable best-of-breed service selection, meet regulatory requirements for data sovereignty, and optimize costs by using the most competitive pricing for each service.
