Key considerations for developing a multi-cloud strategy

A sound multi-cloud implementation addresses the strategy and governance that will chart the course for multi-cloud, the management and operations, the security, and the transformation of the workforce to operate it. Each of these elements raise numerous questions for government IT leaders.

With effective strategy and governance, government organizations can improve insights into achieving their objectives, and can make better decisions – looking forward toward an innovative future.
An effectively designed multi-cloud management solution categorizes functions and capabilities into a framework that consists of common security policies and governance. These policies are enforced by integrating the cloud security management and enforcement capabilities across each layer of the cloud management stack, as well as extending them into the cloud service provider environment.
Multi-cloud environments bring a new set of complex cyber challenges and risks. New architectures and capabilities need to account for extending not just compliance, protection, and operations, but the movement of enterprise users, assets, and data between cloud service providers with different sets of security responsibilities and tools as well.
Successful multi-cloud transformations require a cohesive strategy that considers not only an organization’s technology and processes but also its people. CIOs are faced with the challenge of how to develop a cloud-enabled workforce at the onset of transformation by acquiring the necessary skills and capabilities to execute a multi-cloud strategy.

Multi-cloud capabilities for government

Deloitte has expanded its digital service delivery platform to help government agencies gain tailored benefits from cloud transformation and successfully navigate multi-cloud challenges.

Managing multi-cloud environments

Government and program leaders are often embarking on the cloud journeys with partial or siloed cloud architectures, security frameworks, and operating models while training and adoption support have not scaled to keep up with demands. As a result, agencies have realized that their users and applications are now spread across several clouds without the means to coordinate consistently for the transparency, security, or management of these environments.

  • Approach
    Start with discovery of cloud, landing zones, and standards and evolve towards a single management plane that concurrently spans multiple clouds.
  • Blind spots
    Easy access to critical metrics that evaluate the agency’s IT does not exist. “Shadow IT” has created blind spots which prevent agencies from making well informed business decisions.
  • Security fog
    Outdated security policies do not align to the current cybersecurity environment or account for infrastructure abstracted through software and virtualization.
  • Management chaos
    Agencies have migrated applications to multiple clouds – public and private. These applications and VM instances belong to different business groups, which often do not follow consistent processes or governance.
