Part 6/13:
A key concern with cloud adoption is vendor lock-in. Relying exclusively on a single provider can lead to dependency, increased costs, and risks if service terms change unexpectedly.
Vesh emphasizes the importance of multi-cloud and hybrid models to:
Enhance negotiating power: Avoid being locked into one provider's ecosystem.
Maintain operational flexibility: Migrate workloads seamlessly between providers if needed.
Optimize costs: Choose the best services from multiple vendors tailored to specific needs.
He recommends organizations evaluate cloud providers based on stability, vendor neutrality, security, and compliance capabilities. The goal is to build a resilient infrastructure that can adapt to evolving market demands and technological landscapes.
