In this interview, he speaks to Sudhir Chowdhary on the emerging trends in cloud computing and how cloud providers are embedding AI capabilities into their services. Excerpts:

Why is multicloud essential for modern businesses?

Over the past years, conversations with customers have revealed a clear perspective. They seek a platform that empowers their operations without imposing restrictions—one that offers the flexibility to select the optimal cloud environment tailored to the needs of their most critical workloads. Multicloud has become a strategic necessity and standard for businesses, which is fundamentally providing the flexibility to choose the best-of-breed solutions from different cloud providers without being tied to a single provider.
