Top Issues Stemming From Multi-Cloud Adoption

Whether to optimize the costs associated with running and managing their own infrastructure or to enable development teams to build more efficient apps, most businesses today are interested in adopting a cloud infrastructure.

This is why now we have quite a few cloud solutions on the market, from public clouds such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and DigitalOcean, to private clouds such as Azure Stack, VMWare, or HPE.

In the early days, cloud adoption was about using a new approach to building applications. Today, however, implementing the cloud model is about the ability to embrace a multi-cloud architecture. Each of the solutions available appeals to different types of businesses and business needs. They can even be combined to create hybrid clouds.

And this is exactly where the problems start to appear. In their race towards creating the best cloud architecture for their organizational needs, companies sacrifice visibility.

Because their infrastructure is spread across multiple platforms and vendors, it’s almost impossible to have a clear overview. This lack of visibility leads to issues such as time-consuming infrastructure management and even the impossibility of scaling.
