This document discusses moving from monolithic applications to cloud-native microservices across multiple clouds. It outlines issues with monoliths like lack of scalability and availability. Microservices address these by isolating contexts into fine-grained, independently deployable services. However, microservices introduce infrastructure complexity around provisioning, observability, and testing. The cloud-native approach advocates for building applications in a way that leverages cloud-native technologies. Multi-cloud strategies can provide portability, avoid vendor lock-in, increase resilience, and lower costs by running workloads across clouds.
