Lock-in, what lock-in?

Posted on 09:16 by Unknown
A frequent theme we have heard from customers and read in the community lately has been about lock-in. What does it mean to choose a cloud provider? What trade-offs are reasonable but also proprietary? Is there a model that works or can work for you? Peter Magnusson, the engineering director responsible for Google App Engine, takes on the topic recently on G+ and it is worth a read. But he’s not the only pundit discussing the topic and I’m sure he won’t be the last.



Take a look at Peter’s thoughts and let us know what you think.
