Chapter 1: Introduction to Multi-Cloud

The main goal of this chapter is to develop a foundational understanding of what multi-cloud is and why companies have a multi-cloud strategy. We will focus on the main public cloud platforms of Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), next to the different on-premises variants of these platforms such as Azure Stack, AWS Outposts, Google Anthos, and the VMware propositions such as VMConAWS. We will also look at the benefits, how to develop to a strategy using one or more of these platforms, and what should be the very first starting point for multi-cloud.

In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:

Understanding what a true multi-cloud concept is
A basic understanding of translating business requirements to a multi-cloud strategy
An introduction to the main technology providers
