I confess to preferring simplicity, especially when it comes to computing infrastructure. It’s easier for start-ups and smaller companies to run their businesses with a mix of software-as-a-service (SaaS) with applications and data hosted on one public cloud.
Many organisations run on hybrid clouds with applications and data split between private clouds, legacy data centre infrastructure, and a selected public cloud.
But many medium and larger enterprises choose to run on multiple public clouds or end up in that situation to support innovation, regulations, service levels, pricing negotiations, or acquisitions. There are choices and trade-offs to cloud strategies.
