This episode of Techsplainers explores the concept of multicloud—the strategic use of cloud services from more than one provider. We examine how organizations leverage multicloud to optimize performance, control costs, and avoid vendor lock-in while maintaining flexibility to adopt the best technologies as they emerge. The discussion covers the differences between simple SaaS usage and more complex enterprise multicloud scenarios using PaaS and IaaS from major providers like AWS, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. We also address the challenges of multicloud management and how organizations use centralized platforms with AI capabilities to maintain consistent security, compliance, and operational efficiency across diverse cloud environments. Finally, we clarify the relationship between multicloud and hybrid cloud, explaining how most enterprise environments today are actually hybrid multiclouds that combine the benefits of both approaches for maximum business value.
