Cloud computing kept the business and remote workforces connected during this ongoing coronavirus pandemic. As we move into 2021, every organization would eventually adopt cloud models and existing cloud businesses would look at ways to streamline their processes for better business continuity.

Broadly, in addition to the standard single public cloud deployment model, there are 3 kinds of cloud models we are talking about — multi-cloud deployment, hybrid cloud deployment, and cloud on the edge.

A Multi-cloud environment provides enterprises to modernize their applications and adopt cloud services from multiple cloud vendors based on their business requirements and avoid vendor lock-in. As workloads and infrastructure are different for each enterprise, this approach gives flexibility to deliver applications on various public cloud providers based on customer’s cloud preferences, regulations, cost factors, disaster recovery, cloud locations, specific cloud features, and at the same time being agile and cloud-neutral.
