High availability across multi cloud environments

edited Apr 28, 2025 11:04AM in Idea Lab – Core Infrastructure

We have been talking about multi cloud environments and exploring possibilities of subscribing to the best services provided by specific cloud service providers. Also, multiple cloud environments are employed as a fault tolerant or fallback option to ensure availability.

I was wondering, if I have a load balancer that can distribute incoming requests/traffic to backend servers in NOT just one cloud environment, but across more than one cloud service provider. Essentially, build a SUPER load balancer with complete control from OCI with a Public IP and distribute incoming requests to servers distributed across multiple service providers?

This can provide a greater availability of services for the incoming network traffic across multiple servers through resources provisioned across more than one cloud service. This will scale the availabilty to a new dimension and also improve application performance and scalability based on each cloud service provider. By spreading the workload again within each cloud environment, load balancers prevent any single server from becoming overwhelmed and reduce the risk of downtime or performance issues. They also enhance scalability by allowing organizations to easily add or remove servers as needed to handle fluctuating traffic demands.
