Summary
At ThoughtWorks, we’ve long been wary of the use of multiple cloud providers for the sake of it. We think there’s a significant upside in using the best provider for particular use cases. But in some regulated environments, organizations are forced to adopt a multicloud approach for highly critical workloads.
In this episode, our regular co-hosts, Mike Mason and Zhamak Dehghani are joined by Scott Shaw, Head of Technology for ThoughtWorks Australia and James Lewis, Principal Consultant, ThoughtWorks UK. They explore the challenges of delivering an effective multicloud solution and how to assess the criticality and sensitivity of workloads.
