Multi-Cloud Strategy Consultant

Multi-cloud consulting helps organizations use AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud strategically rather than being locked into one provider.

You design architectures that leverage strengths of each platform - AWS for breadth of services, Azure for Microsoft integration, GCP for data and ML capabilities - while managing complexity of multi-cloud operations.

This specialized consulting commands premium rates of $175-$350 per hour because it requires expertise across multiple platforms.

Services include multi-cloud strategy development, workload placement analysis, cloud-agnostic architecture design, governance frameworks, cost optimization across providers, and multi-cloud security.

Target clients include large enterprises avoiding vendor lock-in, companies with specific workload needs matching different clouds, organizations post-merger with different cloud footprints, and global companies needing regional cloud presence.

The work is highly strategic - helping decide which workloads run where, standardizing tooling and processes, implementing shared security models, and managing financial operations across multiple cloud bills.

Success requires certifications and experience across multiple clouds, understanding when multi-cloud adds value versus complexity, and ability to work with complex enterprise organizations.
