Abstract

Purpose: This paper explores how federated AI models are deployed in multi-cloud environments using microservice architecture, identifying architectural solutions, security frameworks, and practical challenges.

Design/methodology/approach: A descriptive design is used, analyzing key technological integrations, deployment models, and referencing prior foundational work in multi-cloud and federated computing before 2016.

Findings: Deploying federated AI in distributed, cloud-native ecosystems introduces complexities in orchestration, heterogeneity management, and security enforcement.
Practical implications: Enterprises can leverage this architecture to build scalable and privacy-preserving AI systems, though secure communication and compliance across providers remain ongoing challenges.

Originality/value: This paper bridges classical multi-cloud security and architecture research with modern federated AI deployment needs, providing a unified framework that addresses both legacy and current gaps.
