  • Abstract:
  • Multi-cloud computing strategies are increasingly adopted by enterprises seeking enhanced flexibility, cost efficiency, and resilience. Despite their benefits, these strategies bring significant challenges, notably vendor lock-in and service availability risks, which can compromise agility and business continuity. This review paper critically evaluates these risks within multi-cloud deployments. We examine the causes and impacts of vendor lock-in, including proprietary APIs and cloud-native services, and analyze service availability risks stemming from outages, network latency, and SLA inconsistencies. Mitigation strategies such as containerization, infrastructure as code, open standards, and automated failover are explored. The paper also discusses emerging trends including AI-driven cloud management and edge computing. Our findings highlight the importance of adopting cloud-agnostic architectures and intelligent orchestration to realize the full potential of multi-cloud deployments.
