The term multi-cloud refers to the use of more than one cloud provider. Whilst concentrating on one cloud provider might give you volume discounts, multi-cloud offers excellent benefits.

1. You can choose best-of-breed services. For example, you can use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) from Azure and Image to Text AI from AWS, whichever suits your needs best.
2. Avoid a single point of failure by making your service redundant by putting it into two cloud providers.
3. Avoid cloud vendor lock-in.

The cons are also there.

1. The complexity of managing two vendors instead of one
2. No volume discounts equal higher costs
3. No centralized control and monitoring

Modern integration platform like Frends solves the third challenge. With Frends, you can deploy integration execution units called Agents to every cloud platform. Frends low-code visualizes the processes, and you can run them across multiple cloud platforms with single and centralized development, control and monitoring.
