Multicloud

Definitions

1. Describing a strategy or environment that intentionally uses services from more than one cloud provider, such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Teams pursue multicloud for resilience, procurement leverage, or regional fit, but it often increases operational complexity.

   In plain English: Using more than one cloud provider instead of relying on just one.

   Example: "Their multicloud story sounds good on slides, but the tooling burden is enormous."
