From the inception of public cloud, business and tech professionals have been enamored with the idea of on-demand compute resources.

To differentiate infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services, cloud providers have inadvertently created unique networking nomenclatures, taxonomies, architectures, and networking services. Customers must dedicate significant resources to learn these and to create an effective operations environment to manage networks inside and between cloud services. Multicloud networking solutions can hide some complexity, but customers must still weave in missing capabilities.
