Abstract

This paper explores the concepts of Enterprise Software as a Service (SaaS), the reasons for hosting a SaaS solution on a multi-cloud platform, and the benefit of using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) on a multi-cloud for quick provisioning. The paper also details the various challenges faced while adopting a multi-cloud solution. In conclusion, the paper recommends using multi-cloud and IaC to host all Enterprise SaaS solutions.
