Multi-Cloud can be hard to do right and there are plenty of traps along the way. It sure doesn't make sense to go that way just for Disaster Recovery, unless you need to be prepared for the unlikely event that Amazon or Google will suddenly get wiped out of the planet.

That said, going Multi-Cloud is indeed unavoidable in a growing number of settings. So, instead of looking at it as a source of troubles, it can be leveraged as a way to extract the best features out of each provider, to avoid lock-in wherever it makes business sense and to minimize costs by distributing workloads accordingly. That introduces new issues regarding access control, cost analysis, auditing and governance which are best managed by a Multi-Cloud Management Platform.
