Multi-cloud seems like an obvious path for most organizations, but what isn’t obvious is how to implement it, especially with a DevOps centric approach. For Cycle users, multi-cloud is just something they do. It’s a native part of the platform and a standardized experience that has led to 70+% of our users consuming infrastructure from more than 1 provider.

Software development, agility and efficiency are paramount. Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) practices have revolutionised the way we build, test, and deploy software. When coupled with the power of Kubernetes, an open-source container orchestration platform, organisations can achieve a level of deployment excellence that was once only a dream.

The rise of containerization has precipitated an unprecedented shift in the software development landscape, with Kubernetes emerging as the de facto standard for managing large-scale containerized applications. One of the more nuanced aspects of Kubernetes that is gaining attention is multi-cluster orchestration. This approach to cluster management offers several compelling advantages that reshape how businesses operate and innovate in a cloud-native context.

Success in the cloud continues to be elusive for many organizations. A recent Forbes article describes how financial services firms are struggling to succeed in the cloud, citing Accenture Research that found that only 40% of banks and less than half of insurers fully achieved their expected outcomes from migrating to cloud. Similarly, a 2022 KPMG Technology Survey found that 67% of organizations said they had failed to receive a return on investment in the cloud.
