Hybrid Cloud vs multi-Cloud

Question

What is the difference between a hybrid cloud and multi-cloud?

Answer 1

Hybrid cloud is the using of two or more cloud computing systems at the exact same time. The deployment might use public, private or even a combination of the two cloud platforms. By allowing workloads to move between private and public clouds as computing needs and costs change, hybrid cloud gives businesses greater flexibility and more data deployment options.

A multi-cloud strategy is the use of two or more cloud computing services. While a multi-cloud deployment can refer to any implementation of multiple software as a service (SaaS) or platform as a service (PaaS) cloud offerings, today, it generally refers to a mix of public infrastructure as a service (IaaS) environments, such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.

Answer 2

Hybrid cloud is an infrastructure while multi-cloud is a strategy.
