You definitely need to look at your SLA with your customers, but in my experience, multi-cloud isn't worth it. It's easier to be slightly less reliable, and throw your top-three cloud provider under the bus in the public post mortem. You'll probably cause bigger outages on your own in between provider outages, and multi-cloud adds another layer of complexity for things to go wrong.

Multi-cloud is saying you think you can manage Kafka across two or three clouds better than GCP can manage Pub/Sub.
