Abstract
With today's dynamic business landscape, Multi-Cloud environments have grown in popularity as companies are moving to harvest the benefits of flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. However, with the increased complexity in the IT infrastructure, effective disaster recovery planning for business continuity becomes even more difficult. Hence, this paper focuses on good practices for IT disaster recovery planning in Multi-Cloud environments, elaborating on comprehensive strategies in line with the risk management framework of an organization. Some of these key practices involve multiple-tiered backup strategies, redundancy across multiple cloud providers, and automation in recovery processes for a reduction in downtime. It flags that one must also understand the different responsibility models of cloud platforms to identify where vulnerabilities could arise. Also, the importance of testing and validation of the disaster recovery plan is discussed so that the systems can be brought up quickly when a disaster strikes. Through tools and technologies like IaC and CI/CD pipelines, organizations can automate their DR processes and make their Multi-Cloud architecture resilient. The paper further concludes by noting the need to train IT staff on managing these complex environments to stay ahead of emerging threats. Such best practices followed would help the businesses improve the reliability and availability of their core systems while lessening the risks around IT disruptions in Multi-Cloud environments.
