Why each option
Using multiple separate cloud vendors to host workloads defines a multi-cloud deployment strategy, which is distinct from hybrid cloud or single-provider architectures.
On-premises deployment means workloads run on hardware owned and operated in the organization's own facilities, which is not the case here.
A multi-cloud deployment strategy involves using services from two or more distinct cloud providers simultaneously, as the organization is doing with three vendors. GKE Enterprise (Anthos) is specifically designed to manage and deploy Kubernetes workloads across multiple clouds and on-premises environments from a single control plane. Using three cloud vendors explicitly satisfies the definition of multi-cloud.
Hybrid cloud specifically refers to combining on-premises infrastructure with one or more public clouds, not the use of multiple public cloud vendors exclusively.
Private cloud refers to dedicated cloud infrastructure used by a single organization, which conflicts with using three separate public cloud vendors.
