ByR M 12/20/202503/07/2026

By 2025, the boardroom debate about “moving to the cloud” is largely over. It has been replaced by the far more complex engineering reality of managing the resulting sprawl. This article focuses on the implications of Hybrid vs Multi-Cloud in 2025 for Systems Engineers. For Systems Engineers (SEs), infrastructure architects, and platform teams, the definitions…
