Multi Cloud Architecture
Design multi-cloud architectures using a decision framework to select and integrate services…
A decision framework and battle-tested integration patterns for running workloads across AWS, Azure, and GCP at the same time. It treats every provider as an isolated blast radius, builds a provider-agnostic abstraction layer (Kubernetes, Terraform, PostgreSQL), and keeps the operational complexity of multi-cloud honest rather than letting it spiral. Ships ready-to-use Terraform replication configs, failover orchestration, and an egress-cost calculator so you avoid the four-figure surprise bill.

Does this system actually need a second cloud? That question opens the framework, because regulation and lock-in risk justify multi-cloud while fashion does not, and egress fees punish guessing.
- Opens with the Ockham gate: is multi-cloud actually justified? Only regulation and data residency, vendor lock-in risk or genuine best-of-breed needs pass; everybody is doing it does not, and single-cloud multi-region is the recommended default otherwise.
- Picks the pattern deliberately: single provider plus DR standby, best-of-breed split (general compute on one cloud, ML and analytics on another), geographic distribution for sovereignty, or a full cloud-agnostic abstraction layer.
- Builds on abstractions instead of SDKs: Kubernetes across EKS/AKS/GKE, shared Terraform modules instead of per-cloud IaC, and provider-agnostic interfaces (one ObjectStorage interface with S3, Blob and GCS adapters) so lock-in cannot creep back in through code.
- Prices the egress before designing replication: cross-cloud transfer runs around $0.09 per GB, so only tag-filtered critical data replicates to cold tiers in batches; naive full replication is called out as a monthly four-figure trap.
- Wires failover as orchestration: health endpoints on every provider, DNS failover after 3 consecutive failures, async replication with eventual consistency accepted by design, and a written runbook naming who approves the switch.
- Signs off against an 8-item checklist: chaos-tested blast radius (one provider down, the other unaffected), egress budget verified, IAM federation, locked remote Terraform state, measured RTO/RPO drill, unified monitoring and consistent cost tags.

-
We only run on AWS today. Is this useful before we actually add a second cloud?
Yes, and arguably most useful then. The decision framework's first job is testing whether your workload truly needs multi-cloud or just multi-region in one provider, and the egress cost table shows you the bill impact before you commit to anything.
-
How does the abstraction layer actually keep my code off vendor SDKs?
It standardizes on a portable core (Kubernetes, Terraform, PostgreSQL) and puts a provider-agnostic adapter interface between your app and each cloud. Application code calls the adapter, never AWS or Azure SDKs directly, so swapping a provider means swapping an adapter implementation.
-
Does it migrate my running workloads to another cloud for me?
No. It ships the Terraform replication configs, failover orchestration, and an 8-point pre-launch checklist, but executing the migration and operating the second provider remains your team's work. It de-risks the plan, it does not run it.
