Multi-cloud on paper became multi-cloud in practice.
The situation
A provincial shared-services agency serves 12 ministries and holds 18 PB across three hyperscalers. Each workload was still tied to a single provider.
What forced the question
- The Auditor General flagged cloud concentration risk
- Single-cloud lock-in per workload, despite three providers
- Renewals were negotiated without a credible alternative

Questions a buyer asks
How does a workload move?By re-placing a minority of fragments. Two workloads moved between providers at no data-movement cost.
Can any one provider rebuild the data?No. Each holds two of nine fragments and six are needed.
What if a provider is lost?Any one provider can be offline and seven fragments remain.
How do ministries differ?The service is shared, with fragment weighting set per ministry.
