An organization takes a multicloud approach when it uses cloud services from more than one provider. That might seem obvious from the name—it’s multiple clouds, after all—but the reasons for choosing a multicloud approach can be as varied as the cloud platforms themselves.
Because “cloud” has become such a broad and all-encompassing category, a multicloud environment might include, say, Microsoft 365 SaaS for productivity apps, Google Drive for storage, and Amazon AWS for compute services.
