Still, most multicloud estates are accidental, arising out of siloed cloud decisions, shadow IT, or mergers and acquisitions of other businesses having different clouds.
This strategic lack of planning can outweigh the benefits of agility and capability. It could lead to complexities due to interoperability issues, cost overruns, regulatory non-compliance and security lapses from misconfigured policies.
