Why Multi-Cloud Matters¶
Organizations adopt multi-cloud strategies for several compelling reasons. RosettaHub's Supercloud architecture is designed to deliver the benefits of multi-cloud without the corresponding increase in management overhead.
Avoid Vendor Lock-In¶
Relying on a single cloud provider creates dependency on that provider's pricing, availability, and product decisions. A multi-cloud approach preserves negotiating leverage and architectural flexibility.
With RosettaHub, Formations are cloud-agnostic -- a template built on AWS can be re-targeted to Azure, GCP, or a private cloud without modification. Teams are never locked into a single provider's tooling or IaC format.
Meet Regulatory Requirements¶
Regulations such as the EU AI Act, GDPR, and sector-specific data sovereignty rules increasingly mandate where data can be stored and processed. Multi-cloud enables organizations to place workloads in the right jurisdiction on the right provider.
RosettaHub's RosettaBox layer enforces compliance policies uniformly across all connected clouds, ensuring that governance rules follow the workload regardless of where it runs.
Optimize Costs¶
Different providers offer better pricing for different workload types. GPU-intensive AI training may be most cost-effective on one cloud, while object storage is cheaper on another. Multi-cloud lets you place each workload where it makes the most economic sense.
RosettaHub's real-time FinOps tracks costs across all providers simultaneously, with hard budget limits that prevent overruns regardless of which cloud the spending occurs on.
Improve Resilience¶
Distributing workloads across providers reduces the blast radius of any single provider's outage. Critical services can fail over between clouds rather than being limited to regions within one provider.
RosettaCloud's cross-cloud operations enable architectures where storage on one cloud is mounted on compute from another, making multi-provider resilience practical rather than theoretical.
Multi-Cloud Without the Complexity¶
The challenge of multi-cloud has historically been the operational complexity it introduces -- multiple consoles, billing systems, identity models, and compliance frameworks to manage in parallel.
RosettaHub eliminates this complexity by providing:
| Challenge | RosettaHub Solution |
|---|---|
| Multiple consoles | Single unified dashboard with perspectives for every workflow |
| Multiple billing systems | Unified cost management with cross-cloud budget enforcement |
| Multiple identity models | Single identity and access layer across all providers |
| Multiple compliance frameworks | Unified compliance policies applied to all clouds |
| Multiple IaC tools | Cloud-agnostic Formations that deploy anywhere |
Regulatory Drivers¶
Several recent and emerging regulations explicitly encourage or mandate multi-cloud adoption:
| Regulation | Scope | Multi-Cloud Relevance |
|---|---|---|
| EU AI Act | AI systems in the EU | Requires transparency, auditability, and data governance that may span multiple providers |
| GDPR | Personal data in the EU | Data residency requirements may necessitate provider diversity across jurisdictions |
| DORA | Financial services in the EU | Mandates ICT risk management including concentration risk from single-provider dependency |
| NIS2 | Critical infrastructure in the EU | Requires resilience measures that benefit from multi-provider architectures |
| UK Cloud Policy | UK public sector | Encourages avoiding vendor lock-in through multi-cloud strategies |
RosettaHub's governance layer ensures that compliance with these frameworks is enforced automatically, regardless of which cloud provider hosts the workload.
