Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Relying on proprietary database engines
Why it's wrong here
Proprietary engines are difficult to migrate to other providers.
- ✗
Using vendor-specific serverless functions
Why it's wrong here
These create tight coupling to the provider's runtime environment.
- ✓
Containerization
Why this is correct
Containers allow applications to run consistently across any environment, reducing cloud-specific dependencies.

Single-cloud architecture
Why it's wrong here
Single-cloud architectures inherently increase the risk of vendor lock-in.
