Designing for Diversity with Multi-Cloud Application Strategies

Now that we have covered the foundation of cloud-native, let's venture into the heart of designing cloud-native applications for multi-cloud platforms. We commence with the unique considerations and the strategic importance of multi-cloud design. This knowledge forms the basis of understanding multi-cloud architecture, an essential pillar for any cloud-native developer. As we navigate through the multi-cloud landscape, we pinpoint the key principles of multi-cloud application design and unravel the art of selecting the right technologies. We emphasize how the right choices can serve as the lifeblood of a successful application. Following this thread, we explore the challenges and strategies in data management across various cloud platforms. By bridging the topic of application deployment and orchestration in multi-cloud, we offer insights into coordinating application components in this complex terrain.
