Unlock Effortless Multi-Cloud Management with Google Cloud Anthos

In our latest article, we debunked the common myths surrounding multicloud deployment, dispelling misconceptions about increased costs, lack of speed and security, and associated risks. Now that you're prepared to embark on your multicloud journey, the next crucial step is to identify a qualified cloud service provider who can guide you in adopting the optimal management tools, enabling you to extract maximum value from your multi cloud environment.

In this article, we will provide insights into the key challenges that enterprises face when adopting multi cloud strategies, and how Anthos, as a comprehensive platform, can effectively address and overcome these obstacles. 

Challenges of hybrid/multicloud adoption

Transitioning your business to a hybrid and/or multi cloud environment can present significant challenges without the guidance of a reliable managed service provider. This complex and potentially costly experience can be overwhelming for organizations. 

Multi Cloud deployments pose a significant challenge in terms of the diverse skill sets required to navigate different service offerings from different CSPs. These differences encompass aspects such as management interfaces, APIs, IT proficiency levels, and pricing models. One potential solution involves establishing dedicated teams for specific functions to maintain applications within a single environment. However, this approach introduces complexities and requires a specialized skill set when it comes to managing applications across multiple environments.
