Multicloud on AWS

Simplify and centralize the observability, management, and configurations of your resources on AWS and other cloud providers. Reduce the complexity of network management with private and public connectivity options across multiple clouds. 

Deploying AI models and applications across cloud environments can be complicated and time-consuming. AWS capabilities help you take advantage of large language models and ML technologies in a multicloud environment.

Drive insights from disparate sources in a multicloud environment. AWS offers data and analytics services that allow you to gain insights from all your data, including data in SaaS applications such as Salesforce, SAP, and Google Analytics. You can query and surface insights from data stored in other cloud data stores without copying or transforming data, and collaborate with your partners on datasets stored outside AWS.

Access Oracle Database services running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) deployed in AWS and other clouds to accelerate application migration and modernization.

Our approach is to extend existing AWS capabilities to work in multicloud environments. Because we extend existing capabilities, you can leverage the large community of IT professionals trained on AWS, as well as shared community resources such as scripts and automated runbooks, on multiple clouds.

At AWS, we give customers the freedom to choose technology that best suits their needs, and our commitment to interoperability is a key reason customers choose AWS in the first place. For example, we support open standards such as full wire protocol compatibility with open source databases, enabling seamless integration between AWS and other open source compatible databases hosted in other clouds. Customers can easily migrate any standard Kubernetes application to and from Amazon EKS without refactoring code. We support the Model Context Protocol (MCP) so it is easy to switch between different LLM models and providers when building AI applications without rewriting integrations. We also support FOCUS, the open-source cloud cost and usage specification supported by the FinOps Foundation, helping simplify cloud financial management across multiple clouds. AWS has been at the forefront of developing solutions that customers can use to run their applications on any cloud they want to.

Adding AWS to your multicloud strategy can improve resilience. From the ground-up, AWS builds resilience into its infrastructure, service design and deployment, operational models, and mechanisms, making AWS the most reliable cloud to build on. AWS offers the most comprehensive set of resilience features, purpose-built services, and prescriptive guidance to make it easy to build highly available applications to help you achieve your resilience goals. To learn more about our continuous approach to resilience improvement, read the AWS resilience lifecycle framework.
