Enterprises are embracing cloud services from diverse vendors to get best-in-class services, mitigate risks, and avoid vendor lock-in. This poses a challenge, as every cloud platform is based on its unique, customized architecture, which is not compatible with other cloud services. Enterprises find it difficult to have a unified view of their cloud services portfolio and fail to utilize all available cloud resources to their fullest potential.
Recognizing this gap, multiple cloud management start-ups have emerged in the past decade. These start-ups are constantly innovating to provide quick out-of-the-box solutions, optimize cloud resources, improve cloud operations, and avoid vendor lock-in, among other services.
