Architecting Cloud-Native Applications for Multi-Cloud Environments
Abstract: This paper explores into the complexities and methodologies of architecting cloud-native applications optimized for multi-cloud environments, a pressing need in the era of digital transformation. As organizations increasingly adopt diverse cloud services to harness specific capabilities and avoid vendor lock-in, the challenge of designing applications that operate efficiently across multiple cloud platforms has become paramount. This research aims to unravel these complexities by presenting a holistic framework for developing applications that are not only cloud-native but are also seamlessly portable and interoperable across different cloud environments. Through an in-depth analysis, the paper identifies pivotal architectural considerations essential for multi-cloud readiness, including service abstraction, API integration, data management, and security protocols. It further explores strategic approaches for effective integration and synchronization across cloud platforms, emphasizing the importance of adopting containerization, microservices architectures, and continuous delivery models to enhance application scalability, resilience, and deployment agility. The findings underscore the necessity for robust, adaptable architecture strategies that prioritize scalability, security, and operational efficiency in a multi-cloud setup.
