Multi-Cloud

Note: This term may have other meanings in other contexts. Here, we are defining it in the context of a distributed database.

What is Multi-Cloud?

Multi-Cloud refers to a strategy where multiple cloud providers are being used, rather than just one. Typically, these are multiple public cloud providers (i.e. AWS and GCP). CockroachDB is one of the few distributed SQL databases that supports multi-cloud deployments.
