When an organization wants to optimize its resources by using the most cost-efficient cloud service for each workload type, while avoiding vendor lock-in and increasing its bargaining power among cloud service providers, which architecture model is it most likely implementing?
Unified cloud management system, which uses a singular management interface for controlling disparate cloud resources.
Single-cloud strategy, committing to one cloud service provider for all workloads for simplicity and potential volume-based discounts.
Cross-cloud management, to ensure consistent operations and workload distribution across multiple cloud infrastructures.
Multi-cloud strategy, to avoid dependence on a single cloud service provider and to take advantage of the best deals and services available from different providers.
This scenario is indicative of a multi-cloud system where an organization strategically uses multiple cloud providers to host different services or workloads. This allows the organization to leverage the best possible price and technologies from each provider and mitigating risks associated with vendor lock-in. A single-cloud strategy uses only one cloud provider for all services, which would not fit the goals of cost optimization across various services and avoidance of vendor lock-in. While cross-cloud management involves managing operations across multiple clouds, it does not specifically emphasize strategic use for cost efficiency and bargaining power. Lastly, a unified cloud management system is a tool or platform for managing multiple clouds but does not inherently reflect a strategy for optimizing workloads across different providers.
