Multi-Cloud vs Single Cloud: Proven Guide to Avoid Cost Risk
Multi-cloud is usually chosen for resilience and rarely costed properly. This guide compares multi-cloud and single cloud honestly: what the two models actually mean, where the real cost difference sits and how large it tends to be, the three places multi-cloud genuinely saves money, a risk ledger showing what each model protects you from, whether the uptime argument survives arithmetic, a five-question scoring framework, how to make a single cloud position safe without a second platform, and a worked three-year cost model for a mid-sized UK platform.
