Quick Facts
Industry: Global SaaS
Clouds: AWS, Azure, GCP
Timeline: 16 weeks
Clusters: 12 Kubernetes clusters
Stack: Terraform, Argo CD, Vault, Grafana
The Challenge
A global SaaS company had grown through acquisitions, inheriting infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Each team used different tools, security practices, and deployment processes. There was no unified view of costs, security posture, or system health.
Compliance was becoming a nightmare with different approaches to access control, logging, and encryption across clouds. Engineers needed deep expertise in each platform, and on-call rotations were complicated by the tooling fragmentation.
Pain Points
❌ Different tools and processes per cloud
❌ No unified security policies or compliance
❌ Siloed observability per cloud provider
❌ Complex on-call requiring multi-cloud expertise
❌ No consolidated cost visibility or optimization
Our Solution
🏗️
Unified Infrastructure as Code
Standardized all infrastructure on Terraform with reusable modules for each cloud. Common patterns for networking, compute, and storage with cloud-specific implementations abstracted away.
☸️
Multi-Cluster Kubernetes
Deployed Kubernetes clusters across all three clouds using standardized configurations. Argo CD for GitOps deployments with cluster-agnostic application definitions.
🔐
Unified Security & Identity
HashiCorp Vault for centralized secrets management across clouds. OPA policies for consistent security guardrails. Federated identity with single IdP for all cloud access.
📊
Single-Pane Observability
Centralized Prometheus federation for metrics from all clusters. Unified Grafana dashboards with cloud-agnostic service views. Consolidated alerting via PagerDuty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a multi-cloud strategy?
Using multiple cloud providers to avoid lock-in, optimize costs, leverage best services, and improve resilience. Requires unified tooling and consistent security.
What are the benefits of multi-cloud?
Avoiding vendor lock-in, best-of-breed services, better pricing negotiation, data residency compliance, and improved DR with geographic distribution.
How do you manage Kubernetes multi-cloud?
Using tools like Rancher or GitOps with Argo CD, standardized Terraform configs, unified observability, and consistent network policies across clusters.
What is the challenge with multi-cloud security?
Managing different IAM models, consistent policies, centralized logging, unified secrets (Vault), and compliance across jurisdictions.
