Kubernetes efficiency metrics now work with infrastructure filters.

For most IT leaders, multicloud didn't arrive as a decision. It arrived as a fait accompli. A team chose AWS for one workload. Azure came in through a Microsoft enterprise agreement. A SaaS acquisition brought its own cloud dependencies. A DR requirement pointed to a second region with a different provider. Nobody declared a multicloud strategy; the organization just became one. Today, 87% of organizations run a multicloud strategy, balancing an average of 2.6 public cloud providers simultaneously.

General cloud storage and photo storage for photographers are similar in the sense that photos are stored in the cloud, but professional photographers have different requirements when choosing the best cloud storage for photographers.

Application autoscaling has existed for years. Database autoscaling has lagged behind. Today, that changes on Upsun. Managed PostgreSQL and MariaDB read replicas now autoscale, joining worker autoscaling in production since March 2026. Apps, workers, and managed databases all autoscalead replicas saturate first, connection pools max, someone getse on one platform - natively, without a third-party database engine or a Kubernetes layer to operate. Three operational headaches just disappeared.

Ford's competitors had the same electric motors he did. Most just swapped out the steam engine and kept the old factory layout, a costly mistake. Ford used the new tech to rebuild the plant around the flow of the car. Knowing how much power each machine drew, he knew his cost to produce a car, and made personal automobiles affordable for all.

The original case for multicloud still holds — but the conditions around it have shifted significantly. Here's what you should be asking before your next cloud decision. Most organizations didn’t set out to have a multicloud strategy. They just accumulated one – a mix of providers, tools, and integrations built up over time as individual workload decisions compounded into something that now requires a strategy of its own.

Europe is home to some of the world's most privacy-focused cloud storage providers, offering secure alternatives to services operated by large US technology companies.

Cloud resilience often feels like an uphill battle. When you’re overseeing hundreds of applications across different providers, identifying potential failure points manually is nearly impossible. You’re left trying to find the needle in a haystack—a needle that could take down your entire application at any moment. To truly protect your uptime, you have to break the cycle of reactive troubleshooting.
