Multi-cloud deployment using Spinnaker
Why Choose This Project?
Organizations often want to avoid vendor lock-in and leverage the strengths of multiple cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP). A multi-cloud deployment strategy ensures high availability, cost optimization, and resilience against cloud outages. Spinnaker is an open-source continuous delivery platform built for multi-cloud, making it an excellent tool for this purpose.
