What is a key capability or characteristic of PaaS?
A key capability or characteristic of PaaS is the ability to reduce lock-in. PaaS (Platform as a Service) platforms often emphasize flexibility and support for multiple programming languages, frameworks, and hosting environments. This versatility allows developers to migrate applications across different cloud service providers more easily, thereby mitigating issues related to vendor lock-in. Additionally, PaaS providers aim to support open source stacks and standard API structures, further enhancing portability and reducing the dependency on any single vendor's proprietary technology.
The PaaS model is really use by cloud provider to develop their own solution that is a market differenciator and that's ease the lock-in. On the other hand the objective of PaaS is to give an homogenous implementation of middleware. so Answer : A
Agreed, would say A: by definition, PaaS can increase vendor lock-in because of specific platform implementation...
Vendor lock-in can also be reduced, when you implement your environment in a manner to move to another platform easily (e.g., portability). Therefore, your statement is not 100% accurate. In fact, PaaS platforms can support a variety of middleware and programming languages as stated from "bessonf", allowing developers to choose the tools and technologies that best suit their needs. Therefore, I stay with the given answer: "Ability to reduce lock-in".
By its definition - Homogenous is "the same" PaaS is more akin to a heterogeneous model. I have to go with the stated answer. Ability to reduce lock-in
It is A...Each Cloud Provider has different types of PaaS offerings. Hence it cannot "reduce" the Lock-in
A key capability or characteristic of PaaS (Platform as a Service) is the ability to reduce lock-in.
To me C makes the most sense but again another Bla bla question
