Due to the absence of standards, vendor lockin is a significant obstacle to the adoption of cloud
computing. The vendor lock-in issue is now being
addressed mostly through technological means. There
aren't many studies that analyze and show how
complicated the vendor lock-in issue is in the cloud
context. As a result, while purchasing services from
vendors, the majority of clients are unaware of the
proprietary standards that prevent application
portability and interoperability. In-depth discussions of
cloud concepts are covered in this paper, along with the
causes of vendor lock-in problems and some preventative
measures that can be taken. This is because many
businesses are concerned about the possibility of
becoming stuck with a vendor and being dissatisfied with
the vendor's services.
