Multi-Cloud Without the Marketing or Designing for Multi-Cloud Without Losing Your Mind

“Cloud agnostic” sounds great on a slide, but anyone running real workloads across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud knows it is far more complicated. In this session, Steve Buchanan will share what actually works and what breaks when teams try to operate across multiple cloud platforms. They will cover how multi-cloud impacts team structure, infrastructure as code, application deployment, networking, identity and access, observability, and Kubernetes. You will walk away with a clear picture of where standardization makes sense, where cloud-specific design is unavoidable, and how to build systems and teams that can operate across clouds without creating unnecessary complexity.
