According to Gartner, more than 80% of organizations use more than one cloud provider, with 75% of organizations defaulting to multicloud environments. Multicloud is a cloud computing strategy where an organization uses multiple cloud service providers or platforms to host an application or website (https://acloudguru.com/blog/business/what-is-cloud-migration#servicemodels#servicemodels), to run specific tasks related to an application (https://acloudguru.com/blog/business/what-is-cloud-migration#servicemodels#servicemodels), or as an underlying technology infrastructure (https://acloudguru.com/blog/business/what-is-cloud-migration#servicemodels#servicemodels). A multicloud strategy can use multiple public clouds or a mixture of public and private cloud providers.

Multicloud environments are only beneficial when leaders understand the differences between each provider or cloud platform.
