This item was not updated in last three versions of the Radar. Should it have appeared in one of the more recent editions, there is a good chance it remains pertinent. However, if the item dates back further, its relevance may have diminished and our current evaluation could vary. Regrettably, our capacity to consistently revisit items from past Radar editions is limited.

In the context of the infrastructure and architecture for new client solutions at INFO, facing market-conform requirements for fast time-to-market, high agility and pay-per-use costs, we prefer a vendor-specific cloud-native (Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure) solution over traditional on-premise or hybrid solutions (while still offering such solutions when there is a good reason), to achieve faster time-to-market, more agility and lower costs (depending on usage) because of the ability to use many out-of-the-box cloud vendor services, accepting a vendor lock-in towards the cloud provider, because some cloud services that will be used are specific to the cloud vendor in question.
