Terraform makes it easy to deploy to the multi-cloud. You can use all the same tools and techniques you’ve already been using. In this chapter, we build on everything we have done so far to deploy a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) to the multi-cloud.
Multi-cloud refers to any heterogeneous architecture that employs multiple cloud vendors. For example, you may have a Terraform project that deploys resources onto both AWS and GCP; that would be multi-cloud. In comparison, the closely related term hybrid cloud is more inclusive: it specifically refers to multi-cloud where only one of the clouds is private. So, hybrid cloud is a mix of private and public cloud vendors.
