Which TWO of the following are benefits of a multi-cloud strategy? (Select exactly two.)
⚠ Common exam trap

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Avoids vendor lock-in
A multi-cloud strategy distributes workloads across multiple cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), which prevents dependency on a single vendor's proprietary services, APIs, and pricing models. This avoids vendor lock-in, giving organizations the flexibility to migrate workloads or negotiate better terms without being forced to use a specific provider's ecosystem.
