The principal argument against designing purely for portability between clouds is that

  • A.no provider supports any standards
  • B.it always costs a great deal more to run
  • C.it forfeits the managed services offered
  • D.portability is technically impossible

Answer: C

Correct answer: it forfeits the managed services offered

Designing for portability means restricting oneself to the lowest common denominator across providers - usually plain compute and storage - and forgoing the managed databases, queues and serverless platforms that provide most of the operational saving. The cost is paid continuously in engineering effort against a benefit that may never be realised, so the usual advice is to accept the coupling and abstract only where a move is genuinely foreseeable.
