Hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure is becoming more and more common in enterprise IT environments, since it provides a superior set of capabilities than what might otherwise be gained from a single cloud. Specifically, it allows us to use different cloud services for different use-cases within a single environment, helping to avoid vendor lock-in. Using both on-prem and cloud environments makes it possible to use the best of both worlds, letting users transition to the cloud at their own pace; it’s very rare for businesses of significant size, nowadays, to exist exclusively on either.
