Why Supercloud Architectures Could Upend Cloud Computing - Or Not

The Future of Cloud Computing With Instant Cross-Cloud Migration
Supercloud is an approach to cloud computing that abstracts underlying cloud platforms from applications so completely that it allows applications to move seamlessly between clouds - or even operate across multiple clouds at the same time.
Thus, if you were to adopt a supercloud strategy, you'd build a cloud architecture that lets you migrate an application instantly from, say, AWS to Azure, without having to reconfigure the application or its environment in any way. You'd also be able to do things like host some of the application's microservices on Azure and others on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) at the same exact time.
