Multi-Cloud & Hybrid Support
While AI Fabrix is optimized for in-tenant Azure deployment, many enterprises operate in hybrid or multi-cloud environments. The roadmap includes extending Fabrix to support these complex infrastructures without losing its core strengths: governance, compliance, and predictable economics.

Why Multi-Cloud Matters
Enterprises often distribute workloads across multiple environments for:
- Regulatory Requirements: Certain workloads must run in specific jurisdictions or infrastructures.
- Resilience: Reduce vendor dependency and ensure business continuity.
- Business Units: Different divisions may standardize on different clouds or on-prem systems.
Fabrix will evolve to unify these diverse environments under a single governance and control plane.
Hybrid Cloud Scenarios
Planned hybrid use cases include:
- On-Premise + Azure: Extending Fabrix to securely integrate with on-prem data centers.
- Edge Deployments: Running retrieval and inference pipelines close to where data is generated.
- Private Cloud Integration: Support for sovereign or industry-specific private cloud models.
Multi-Cloud Governance
Fabrix will provide consistent guardrails across distributed deployments:
- Unified Policy Packs: Enforce egress restrictions, quotas, and compliance regardless of location.
- Centralized Identity & Access: Extend Entra ID and SCIM provisioning to hybrid and non-Azure environments.
- Audit Trail Federation: Consolidate compliance logs across clouds into enterprise SIEM systems.
Technical Direction
Future enhancements will include:
- Cross-Cloud Connectors: Governed ingestion from AWS S3, GCP storage, and third-party SaaS platforms.
- Federated Vector Search: Querying embeddings stored across distributed infrastructures.
- Global Orchestration Layer: Coordinating RAG pipelines spanning Azure, other clouds, and on-premise data sources.
Release Planning
[[PLACEHOLDER: Add timeline for multi-cloud and hybrid features, including pilot customer programs.]]
Summary
Multi-cloud and hybrid support will enable Fabrix to act as a unified enterprise AI fabric, extending governance, retrieval, and orchestration across heterogeneous infrastructures. This ensures that customers can scale securely, wherever their data and workloads reside.
