CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 354

A company developed a product using a cloud provider's PaaS platform and many of the platform-based components within the application environment. Which of the following would the company MOST likely be concerned about when utilizing a multicloud strategy or migrating to another cloud provider?

Answer options

• A. Licensing
• B. Authentication providers
• C. Service-level agreement
• D. Vendor lock-in

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Vendor lock-in, as it refers to the difficulty of moving applications and data between cloud providers due to dependencies on a specific platform. The other options, while relevant to cloud considerations, do not directly address the challenge of switching providers caused by reliance on proprietary services and features offered by a single vendor.
