• Con: Limited to technologies and architectures supported by vendor

• CSP IaaS+ • Pro: Flexibility to choose, mix and match services

• Con: Some cloud services offer little portability to other clouds

• PaaS Framework • Pro: Flexibility to run on hybrid infrastructure, avoids vendor lock in,

can be hosted

• Con: Complexity to set up and manage the PaaS framework
