Cloud computing is mainstream now and businesses must choose between the flexibility of multi-cloud strategies and the focused efficiency of single-vendor solutions. This talk delves into the challenges and learnings from past experiences at Netflix (single cloud vendor approach) and Walmart (hybrid/multi-cloud).

A single-vendor strategy can offer exceptional scalability and reliability by leveraging deep expertise and tight integration with a specific cloud provider. We will delve into the benefits of this approach, including optimized performance, streamlined operations, and the potential risks of vendor dependency.

On the other hand, a multi-cloud approach enhances resilience, avoids vendor lock-in, and provides cost optimization opportunities. This session will examine how to manage the complexities of integrating multiple cloud services, ensuring interoperability, and achieving operational agility.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into the trade-offs and strategic considerations involved in choosing a cloud strategy. Whether your organization is leaning towards the agility of multi-provider solutions or the specialized focus of single-vendor expertise, this talk will equip you with the knowledge to navigate the complexities of cloud management effectively.
