Before an organization moves to function as a service, it’s important to understand how it works, its benefits and challenges, its effect on scalability, and why cloud-native observability is essential for attaining peak performance. Cloud providers then manage physical hardware, virtual machines, and web server software management.

Key Takeaways Multi-cloud involves using services from multiple cloud providers to gain flexibility and reduce vendor lock-in, while hybrid cloud combines private and public cloud resources to balance control and scalability. In this scenario, two notable models – multi-cloud and hybrid cloud have emerged. But what do these entail?
