When would you choose Multi-cloud over Pulumi?

Using Multi-cloud architecture instead of a specific tool like Pulumi may be necessary in different scenarios. The choice revolves around flexibility, risk management, and specific business requirements.

• Vendor Lock-in Avoidance: Multi-cloud environments help avoid reliance on a single cloud provider, reducing the risk of vendor lock-in.
• Redundancy and Reliability: Spreading workloads across multiple cloud providers improves reliability and fault tolerance.
• Cost Optimization: Different providers may offer varying pricing models, allowing for a more cost-effective combination of services.
• Compliance and Regulatory Needs: Hosting data in different geographical locations can help meet various compliance requirements more effectively.

This doesn't mean Pulumi isn't beneficial. In fact, Pulumi can facilitate managing multi-cloud resources with code, but situations might necessitate a multi-cloud strategy without tying down to a single orchestrating tool.
