\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCloud computing has brought a whole array of new opportunities for the IT companies worldwide as availability, performance, redundancy, etc. were taken to a higher level of quality. Furthermore, security \u2013 by far the most speculative aspect of cloud adoption \u2013 seems to be leaving the top cloud challenges list, as 85% of enterprises<\/a> keep their sensitive data in the cloud nowadays. However, new opportunities bring about new challenges, and these are the multicloud issues.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tActually, as we no longer dispute over whether cloud really brings quicker deployments, lower capex, and trouble-free infrastructure management, we are starting to challenge the awesomeness of many other cloud postulates. One of them is sticking to a single provider to get the best out of the cloud. Thus, multicloud adoption and multicloud benefits occupies many clients\u2019 minds. Are you one of them? If yes, see below the update on the multicloud adoption, reasons behind it, trend challenges and how to overcome them.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

AWS paired up with Azure<\/h2><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAccording to RightScale<\/a>, 84% of enterprises run on a multicloud strategy. \u201cWhich cloud provider do you prefer?\u201d has transformed into \u201cWho are your favorite cloud providers?\u201d Even cloud giants can\u2019t but adjust to the changing landscape to keep their existing clients and bring new ones. Rivals since 2010, AWS and Azure are now often neighboring<\/a> in the clients\u2019 cloud portfolios. The best of AWS\u2019 services \u2013 S3, EC2, Amazon Lambda \u2013 can now be used along with the brightest from the Azure\u2019s side \u2013 9 knights, as Adam Cogan dubs them in his article<\/a>.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Reasons behind the shift to multicloud<\/h2><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe borderlines between the territories of the competing providers are being blurred out as the growing number of companies is catching up with the trend. What induced such remarkable changes? This all started as an anti vendor lock-in tactics to save the client from tough provider-to-provider migration.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCouple of years ago you could also buy anything you needed to develop, deploy, scale, manage and fix your app from a single provider, but you risked going bankrupt if a provider opted for a price change. Or else, you could have been \u201cleft without a roof under your head\u201d, should your cloud provider leave the game (like in the case with Nirvanix<\/a>\u2019 clients). Considering the risks, it would have been very sympathetic of the cloud providers to leave a line of retreat for their clients (for which multicloud would have been the best option). However, business is business, and budget constraints were the least of challenges that clients had to face. They often had had to undergo hasty, ill-planned and costly migration in case of the provider shut-down.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNo such thing nowadays. According to multicloud definition, you can mix the services from several giant cloud providers (or turn to less prominent cloud providers) if a single player cannot fully satisfy your needs in terms of hosting, scaling, infrastructure management and so on. Take what you actually need from a provider, without overpaying for the associates that you can easily do without. Store your data locally and make the best use of data replication options from multiple vendors to keep it 100% safe and sound. In 2020, numerous geographically distributed data centers of multiple cloud providers will ensure that your data would be able to survive an earthquake, a tsunami, a volcano eruption, a tornado or even an interplanetary war. Isn\u2019t it great? Sounds really awesome.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Multicloud challenges and implications<\/h2><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat\u2019s on the flipside? Sarcastically, it\u2019s still a vendor-lock in. Surely, today no one will make you buy a whole package of trash you will never use. Although, in case you need a particular service, the chances are high it simply won\u2019t work on a stand-alone basis, isolated from the Tier\/package it generally belongs to.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSee how Denis Golovnev, DevOps engineer at Qulix Systems, describes the issue.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cThe challenging part of multicloud adoption is the vendor lock-in, in case you need specific service (-s) of a particular provider. Starting from settings, to usage. Sometimes it is not clear how to migrate from one service to another.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat does it actually mean? Multicloud allows you to play with various services from various providers in case you know how to arrange it. What\u2019s the hitch? Writing a healthy code that will unite particular services from even two competing cloud providers to manage your portfolio can be a tough thing. Still wondering why? Thing stay pretty much the same as they were before. No provider in its right senses will let you go to a competitor without squeezing from you your last cent for its services. Be ready for that.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

A sustainable way-out<\/h2><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYou can always buy a whole service package from two or three of your cloud providing favorites (let\u2019s say, AWS, Azure and Google Cloud), but it will cost you a lot. Again, to get a specific service you\u2019ll need a whole lot of ingenuity to make rivals work for you as one team. What can be done about that?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\u201cThere\u2019s always a way out, \u2013 Denis continues. \u2013 In our case, it is Kubernetes<\/a>, which allows one to abstract from these pain points of multicloud.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDoes it mean, that one can run their containers from anywhere \u2013 whether from local servers or from clouds \u2013 and manage them without high costs and excessive efforts?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cYes, \u2013 Denis says. \u2013 Kubernetes allows you to get rid of vendor lock-in through service abstraction. Mind that each provider will have its Kubernetes cluster, and you \u2013 as a provider\u2019s client \u2013 can have your own Kubernetes cluster too, running on your own hardware. To make things even better, one can unite several physical clusters into one logical cluster\u201d.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

The bottom line is\u2026<\/h2><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAdvertising has done its job and multicloud is now on almost everyone\u2019s tip of the tongue. The thing is, it does allow diversity, although to make use of it you\u2019ll have to pay heavily enough. Or hire a cloud management genius with guts and wits to build you a truly working multicloud system.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt will take a while for multicloud to become a democratic and an easy-to-use solution bringing a real value for the clients. For now, what one definitely can use without paying dearly, is Kubernetes. It will not give you the desired level of customization promised by AWS or Azure, but it won\u2019t eat up a good share of your budget either. Which of these two is more important to you \u2013 everyone\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
