Should we multi-cloud?
summary
A concrete decision framework answers whether multicloud meets business goals rather than restating the topic: the P L A C E framework (Purpose, Landing zone, Automation, Continuous monitoring, Empower) maps drivers to specific designs, from container-first portability versus sticky cloud‑native services to tradeoffs in total cost of ownership when adding abstraction layers. It recommends building automated landing zones with automation tied to DevOps, measuring TCO and reliability metrics, and investing in training and shared‑responsibility alignment so complexity is mitigated though not eliminated.
