When it comes to the cloud, the choices
are many and complicated. The IT shops
of today are often working with more than
one cloud vendor, often not knowing who
is using what across the enterprise. In fact,
it's pretty common for developers to self-
service public cloud resources because
of slow provisioning. Development teams
gain the resources they need to innovate
and deliver value but at the risk of a lack of
visibility and control from central IT.
In addition, it's common for enterprises
to acquire departments from other
companies that operate with a different
mindset on how to deliver IT. In this
scenario, resources that come with the
acquisition may not scale well, resulting in
excessive, disparate public cloud costs.
Other times, a given organization may
intentionally use multiple cloud providers
for mission-critical applications where
they want to make sure that they have
redundancy in more than one cloud.
They want to be ready in the event that
the primary provider goes down for any
length of time.
Whatever the case may be, multi-cloud
environments can create more complexity
than IT is able to manage, and without
adequate controls.
