At its core, multi-cloud involves using cloud services from more than one cloud vendor. It can be as simple as using software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions like Salesforce, Office 365, or Dropbox from different cloud vendors. However, in the enterprise, multi-cloud typically refers to the strategic use of multiple cloud providers for running critical applications and workloads. Here, cloud services tend to fall into more specific and technical use cases like platform-as-a-service (PaaS), infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), function-as-a-service (FaaS), and container-as-a-service (CaaS).
