"Multicloud is having a crisis. Gartner predicts that over 50% of multicloud or cross-cloud efforts won't deliver on expected benefits by 2029, with poor interoperability and fragmentation serving as key culprits. While these numbers don't speak to cloud migration directly, from my own experience as an IT leader, plus from my field research in developing FluidCloud, I can tell you that multicloud disappointment and cloud migrations go hand in hand."
"What causes all that frustration? To a large extent, you can blame the tools. Infrastructure migration systems propose to deliver end-to-end automation, from initial replication through ongoing governance. In reality, these applications leave huge gaps in the migration process. Instead of multicloud freedom, IT teams face a cascade of unanticipated work, expense, and friction. The good news: To address the migration challenges, my colleagues and I have developed a new approach to cloud infrastructure portability, cloud cloning."
Multicloud efforts face systemic failure, with Gartner predicting that over half of cross-cloud initiatives won't deliver expected benefits by 2029 due to poor interoperability and fragmentation. Legacy migration tools produce gaps across replication, provisioning, and governance, generating unanticipated work, expense, and friction during migrations. Cloud-native vendor tools are one-way and tied to hyperscalers; infrastructure-as-code suffers model mismatches and drift; governance products impose policies that hinder portability. These tool failures block true infrastructure portability and prevent organizations from capturing multicloud benefits. A new approach called cloud cloning is presented as a solution to restore portability and simplify migrations.
