Configuration management is still important for companies using multi-cloud environments to gain visibility, control, and compliance over their cloud resources. Some benefits of configuration management for multi-cloud include visibility over cloud configurations and services, control over cloud resources through policies and automation, and easier transition of workloads between on-premise and cloud environments. Micro Focus provides configuration management capabilities that can discover resources in major public clouds like AWS and Azure as well as private clouds.

Companies are weighing the following pros and cons of cloud migration: Configuration management benefits for multi-cloud include: Some of our multi-cloud configuration management capabilities include: PROS: • Greater elasticity • Financial benefits • Increases reliability CONS: • Less control when business and data move off-premise • Less visibility over resources • High cost to move workloads The good news is, configuration management is needed as much as ever in the cloud as ITIL principles still apply regardless of platform used. And, strong discovery and configuration management within Hybrid IT can mitigate many of the potential cons of moving to the cloud.
