Exam Cloud Digital Leader topic 1 question 216 discussion

A. Open standards Vendor lock-in occurs when an organization becomes dependent on a specific cloud provider’s technology, making it difficult to migrate to another provider without significant costs or effort. Leveraging open standards helps mitigate this concern because: - Open standards are platform-agnostic and ensure compatibility between different cloud providers. - They promote interoperability, allowing organizations to move workloads or data across providers without significant rework. - By using open standards, organizations avoid proprietary technologies that tie them to a specific vendor. While the other options (B, C, and D) may offer benefits, they do not directly address the concern of vendor lock-in.

By using Open Standards, a solution can easily be moved to other public cloud providers that support open standards.

A: Use Open Standards and Technologies Adopting open standards and technologies ensures that the organization's systems and data can be easily ported to different platforms. This includes using open-source software, open APIs, and standard protocols that are universally supported across cloud providers.
