Abstract

In today’s digital era, organizations increasingly adopt cloud technologies to enhance flexibility, scalability, and efficiency. The rise in cloud providers, their offerings, and the complexity of corporate requirements have led to the emergence of multi-cloud solutions or cloud federation. This approach allows multiple cloud environments to be managed as one ecosystem, providing unique benefits. This article focuses on cloud federation, comparing it with multi-cloud, and discusses current approaches to federative cloud solutions. It concludes with a discussion of the technical and architectural aspects of federative solutions. This innovative approach brings unique benefits to organizations by choosing efficient and customized use of cloud resources according to changing needs.
