Multi-cloud strategies make **provider independence** possible, while addressing concentration risk and expanding **service availability**. A truly Multi-Cloud approach, along with **automation and orchestration**, are becoming increasingly important. OpenNebula brings with it a powerful **Multi-Cloud Architecture** composed of [Edge Clusters](https://docs.opennebula.io/6.0/management_and_operations/edge_cluster_management/index.html) that can run **any workload**—both VMs and application containers—**on any resource**—bare-metal or virtualized—**anywhere**—on-premise, on the cloud, or at the edge. This innovative model enables true hybrid and multi-cloud computing by leveraging resources from different **cloud and edge infrastructure providers** and by combining public and private cloud operations with **workload portability** and unified management of IT infrastructure and applications. ### Why an OpenNebula Multi-Cloud? ![true-hybrid-scheme](https://opennebula.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/true-hybrid-scheme.png) OpenNebula combines **virtualization and container technologies** with multi-tenancy, automatic provision, and elasticity to offer on-demand applications and services. It provides a single, feature-rich, and flexible platform with **unified management** of IT infrastructure and applications that avoids vendor lock-in and reduces complexity, resource consumption, and operational costs.\\ OpenNebula helps organizations to easily embrace **Multi-Cloud, Hybrid, and Edge Computing**, allowing them to grow their Enterprise Cloud on-demand with infrastructure resources from **public cloud and edge providers**. Combine application containers from Kubernetes and Docker Hub with traditional Virtual Machine workloads. Expand your Enterprise Cloud by unlocking the power of a true hybrid, edge and multi-cloud architecture. Add new resources dynamically to meet peaks in demand, or fault tolerance and latency requirements. ### ### Try OpenNebula **Deploy a fully-functional OpenNebula cloud for product evaluation in just a few minutes!** ### Get The Whitepaper **OpenNebula Multi-Cloud Architecture** ![WHITEPAPER-TRUE-HYBRID-CLOUD-OPENNEBULA](https://opennebula.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/WHITEPAPER-MULTI-CLOUD-OPENNEBULA.png) Explore more details about our Edge Clusters.
