A Definition: Cloud Interoperability Vs. Portability

Introduction

Cloud interoperability and portability are two concepts that are key to cloud computing at large. They are important for the cloud ecosystem and for end users, so it’s good to know what they mean.

A Definition: Cloud Interoperability Vs. Portability

Interoperability

Interoperability is the ability to work together, exchange information and communicate with other systems or devices. In other words, it’s the ability to be compatible with other systems or devices. Cloud interoperability is the ability of an application hosted in one cloud provider’s infrastructure to connect with another cloud service provider’s platform in order for users to access their data seamlessly across both platforms.

Cloud portability refers to a user moving his/her applications from one public cloud provider’s infrastructure onto another without having any downtime or loss of functionality during this process (i.e., from Amazon Web Services (AWS) into Microsoft Azure).

Portability

Portability is the ability to move a cloud service between clouds. It’s not just about moving data, it’s also about moving the service itself. Cloud interoperability means that you can use an application on one cloud and then move it over to another cloud without having to rewrite or rebuild anything in order for it to work there too. Portability is one key component of interoperability because without this ability you’d have no way of getting your applications working across multiple platforms if they weren’t originally built with portability in mind from day one (which most aren’t).

What is Cloud Interoperability?

Cloud interoperability is the ability of two or more cloud services to work together. Cloud interoperability enables a user to access their data from anywhere, on any device and in any application.

Cloud portability is the ability of two or more cloud services to work with each other. Cloud portability enables users to move their data between different providers by exporting it into a portable format such as JSON, XML or CSV files (commonly known as “exporting”). They can then import this data into another service provider if they choose to do so (commonly known as “importing”).

Why is Cloud Interoperability Important?

As you can see, cloud interoperability has a lot of benefits for both customers and providers. For example, it makes it easier for cloud providers to offer a wider range of services because they don’t have to worry about losing their customers as soon as they switch providers. It also makes it easier for customers themselves by allowing them to move their data between cloud providers or even their applications or workloads if they want (which may be more difficult).

What is Cloud Portability?

Cloud portability is the ability to move data and applications from one cloud provider to another, as well as between different platforms, infrastructures and storage systems.

Cloud interoperability is different from portability because it allows you to use multiple clouds together in a single application or workflow — without moving any of your data or code around (see below).

Why is Cloud Portability Important?

Cloud portability is important because it allows you to move your data and applications from one cloud provider to another.

Portability is important in order for you to avoid vendor lock-in, where a customer has no choice but to continue using a particular product or service because they have invested so much money in it. If a user can transfer their data from one platform (or “vendor”) to another then this becomes less of an issue because they can switch if necessary without any major hurdles. This gives them freedom over how they use technology and helps prevent them from being trapped by any given company’s policies or practices that may not be beneficial for their business needs going forward

Cloud Interoperability: Cloud interoperability means that one cloud service can work with another cloud service through an agreed-upon standard or protocol. For example, if you use a Salesforce CRM system on Amazon Web Services (AWS), your data should be able to flow into another CRM platform that uses an open standard like RESTful APIs or OAuth tokens without any problems–that is cloud interoperability in action!

Cloud Portability: Cloud portability refers to how easy it is for an organization to move their workloads from one provider’s infrastructure (or “cloud”) onto another provider’s infrastructure using automated tools such as multi-cloud management software solutions like Cloud Cruiser Pro which allow them manage multiple clouds from one place without having to worry about compatibility issues between providers’ offerings
