Robin.io Webinar: Unlocking Multi-Cloud Portability for Stateful Apps on Kubernetes

As the era of digital transformation unfolds, enterprises are increasingly shifting their workloads to the clouds—as in clouds, plural. For a multi-cloud strategy to be practical, a business application deployed on one public cloud should have the ability to move to another with ease and should not require a large migration project.
