2020 and 2021 have been marked by several notable cloud outages, affecting some of the largest providers in the world. In March 2020, some of Azure’s North American customers faced a six-hour outage due to cooling system failure. Google’s cloud services were down several times last year, and, most recently in April, Microsoft faced another outage, affecting both Microsoft 365 and Azure. In 2021, companies will invest in multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies, along with cloud-agnostic platforms, to ensure greater IT resiliency.
