The “cloud wars” often sound like a competition — AWS vs Azure vs Google Cloud — but the real world is much more complex.Today, most organizations live in a hybrid, multicloud reality, balancing flexibility, resilience, and cost.In this episode of CODE&CLOUD, Rauno De Pasquale (CTO at Newesis) talks with Alex Moore, AI Infrastructure Customer Engineer at Google Cloud, about what it really takes to design and manage multicloud architectures effectively.With over 25 years of experience across hosting, enterprise infrastructure, and hyperscalers, Alex shares pragmatic insights from the frontlines of cloud engineering.Topics discussed: - How cloud architecture evolved from managed hosting to the hyperscaler era - When multicloud makes sense — and when it only adds complexity - Core principles of resilient, scalable system design that still hold true - The hidden challenges of data gravity, identity management, and governance - How platform engineering can simplify complexity and reduce cognitive load -  Why not every company needs multicloud — and how to know if you doIf you’ve ever wondered whether a multicloud strategy is worth it — or how to manage one effectively — this episode cuts through the buzzwords and gets real about architecture, business value, and long-term sustainability.Chapters:00:00 Intro03:10 Who is Alex Moore08:00 From managed hosting to hyperscalers15:20 What still matters today (and what we’ve forgotten)20:45 The real reasons behind multicloud adoption28:10 The hidden costs: data gravity, latency, and governance36:30 Managing identity and compliance across providers44:20 Platform engineering and cognitive load51:30 When multicloud makes business sense57:45 Final thoughts and summaryGuest: Alex Moore — AI Infrastructure Customer Engineer at Google Cloud.
