The document outlines strategies to prevent vendor lock-in through the use of open-source tools like Kubernetes and Terraform for flexible cloud management. It emphasizes building a cloud-agnostic architecture, utilizing multi-cloud management platforms, and prioritizing interoperability. Additionally, it suggests adopting a hybrid and multi-cloud approach to combine on-premises infrastructure with cloud providers for enhanced flexibility and control over data.

1. Using open-source tools like
Kubernetes and Terraform prevent
vendor lock-in by enabling flexible,
standardized cloud management,
keeping control with your team.
Build a Cloud-Agnostic
Architecture
It uses open standards, Docker,
Kubernetes, and serverless to ensure
flexibility and prevent vendor lock-in
across cloud providers.
Leverage Open-Source Solutions
Implement a Multi-Cloud
Management Strategy
Use platforms like CloudBolt or
RightScale for unified cloud
management, simplifying resource
provisioning, optimization, and control
across multiple providers.
Prioritize Interoperability
and Standardization
Interoperability enables cross-cloud
flexibility with common APIs and
protocols. Use microservices for
easier migration and scaling.
Utilize a Hybrid and
Multi-Cloud Approach
A hybrid and multi-cloud setup
combines on-premises infrastructure
with cloud providers, offering control
over data and leveraging cloud
scalability for enhanced flexibility.
