    In the episode, Thorsten explains that multi-cloud adoption can be challenging due to the many moving parts involved. However, he emphasizes that the biggest challenge lies in ensuring compliance and governance across multiple clouds, especially in highly regulated industries. To achieve compliance, companies need to document every aspect of their operations, including security, networking, legal compliance, and risk mitigation strategies. Creating documentation for each cloud provider can be time-consuming and costly and this can be a major hurdle for companies looking to adopt multi-cloud solutions. However, he also points out that multi-cloud adoption is often driven by cloud vendors and software providers who want to provide services across diverse infrastructures. While the benefits of multi-cloud adoption can be significant, companies must be prepared to invest time and resources in ensuring that they are compliant with all relevant regulations. ...
