Abstract

Multi-cloud strategies are now taking the form of hybrid ones, in order to be resilient, cost effective, and vendor neutral. In this paper, the researcher is suggesting a reference architecture that brings together on-premise infrastructure with AWS and Azure. The framework focuses on the unified networking, identity federation, workload portability, infrastructure automation and observability. The study compares the speed of the deployment, resource consumption, operational controls, and cost effectiveness using the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools and multi-cloud orchestration. Findings indicate increased deployment speed, equalized resource consumption, greater success in automation and a maximum of 34 cost reduction. The results offer a real-life advice on how to build resilient, scalable, as well as efficient hybrid multi-clouds
