Why Does this Matter?
Gartner, Assessing the Strengths and Weaknesses of High-Value
IaaS and PaaS Multicloud Use Cases, Elias Khnaser, January 2018
Gartner predicts that a strategy comprising multiple
IaaS and PaaS providers will become the common
approach for 80% of enterprises in 2019, up from less
than 10% in 2015.

Editor's Notes
No such thing as steady state in the cloud
Internet unpredictability is a “new normal” that must be baselined to de-risk rollouts
Speed and accuracy of service provider escalation is key to MTTR
Visibility is critical to containing helpdesk costs and deliver user experience
