AWS-Azure, AWS OpenStack Most Popular Multicloud Combinations When it comes down to determining which cloud configurations are most popular among enterprises, diversity is the key word. This is the conclusion of a Cloudify report, which was published by IOD, an open-source cloud management solution provider. For their 2017: State of Enterprise Multi-Cloud report, the two companies surveyed nearly 700 IT professionals from around the globe, from multiple industries and sizes. The report revealed a correlation between an organization’s size and its preferred type of cloud. This was a key finding. According to the researchers, small to medium-sized organizations are more likely to use cloud-native services, and tend to prefer public cloud vendors such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform(GCP). Larger enterprises, however, prefer private clouds like OpenStack or VMware due to their deeper catalogs of legacy apps that are difficult to migrate into the public cloud. It’s not unusual for organizations of all sizes to have multiple cloud providers, despite these preferences. Just over half (53.3%) of respondents said that they use multiple Infrastructure as a Service cloud providers within their organizations. Only 8.6 percent use at least five cloud vendors simultaneously, while an even smaller number (or less) use eight or nine. According to 23.1 percent of respondents, the most common multicloud environment is composed of two clouds. The most popular configuration with two clouds is AWS and Azure. The No. 1 and No. 2 public cloud vendors in the market, respectively. There are 2 public cloud vendors on the market, respectively. This combination was used by 108 respondents. “The fact that AWS and Azure are the most popular two cloud combinations shows that organizations don’t just trust one cloud. Researchers noted that SMBs will often choose a combination of public and private cloud vendors to avoid vendor lock-in. Recent surveys have shown that cloud vendor lock-in is a growing concern for organizations. Cloudify-IOD survey results showed that “interoperability/no locking-in” was rated by 20.1 percent as the most important feature in cloud computing. This was second only to “high availablility,” which was deemed most important by 23.3 per cent. AWS-Azure was the most popular two-cloud configuration, followed by OpenStack, which was reported by 59 respondents. In descending order, these are other popular two-cloud combinations:

The report stated that “These results indicate a trend towards well managed cloud diversity, with both on-prem and private clouds consumed in an-a-service model.” It is becoming increasingly difficult for organizations to find ways to manage these diverse combinations. Multi-cloud management was ranked at 12.7 percent in respondents’ Top 3 cloud management challenges. It is considered to be just below metrics and logging, app deployment, automated scaling and failover, cost analysis, and app deployment. Ofir Nachmani (CEO of IOD), stated that heterogeneous IT infrastructure is an enterprise reality in a prepared statement. It follows that a solid multi-cloud management layer will be crucial to avoid fragmentation when reinventing the traditional enterprise IT environment.
