Will Multi-Cloud Deliver For You?

Fall 2022

Enterprise computing is multi-cloud computing; it’s hard, complex but promises control and choice for developer and infrastructure teams. Infrastructure teams are to make life easier for developers to write applications that deliver corporate digital value. Multicloud delivers the widest pallet of tools and constructs, but can developers use them all? Is multicloud too hard or are we just at the early stages of tool and operational model development? In this session we explore the realities of multicloud architecture implementation and operations.
