Multi-Cloud: Smart resilience or needless complexity?

/ Automation, File Transfer, Mediation / By

If one cloud can go down, just use two clouds, right?

That’s resilience.

Or… is it just a fancy way to double your AWS and Azure bills while increasing the number of dashboards you ignore?

We’ve all heard it:

  • “Vendor lock-in is evil.”
  • “Redundancy is king.”
  • “Our CTO saw a scary tweet.”

Suddenly, you’re knee-deep in IAM policies from two different providers, debugging why your GCP function can’t talk to your Azure-hosted Postgres through a VPN built out of duct tape and hope.

Is it worth it?

Let’s be real:

  • Multi-cloud sounds strategic.
  • But in practice, it often turns into a multi-headache—more latency, more failure modes, more angry Slack threads.

And for what? 0.01% more uptime?

So, tell me devs, architects, and cloud therapists:

Is Multi-Cloud your architecture flex, or would you rather avoid it?
