    • Interoperability and portability are critical to ensure easy movement and migration of services between cloud platforms.
    • Interoperability in cloud computing is a sector which ensures private and public cloud services can understand each other’s API, configuration, data formats and forms of authentication and authorisation.

    Public cloud interoperability refers to the ability of different cloud services and platforms to work together seamlessly, allowing organisations to leverage multiple cloud providers simultaneously without facing significant barriers or compatibility issues. Achieving interoperability can involve integrating services, sharing data, and coordinating operations across various cloud environments. This blog explores the complexities of public cloud interoperability, the challenges involved, and the strategies to overcome them.

    What is public cloud interoperability

    Public cloud interoperability refers to the capability of different cloud services and platforms to work together seamlessly. This involves integrating services, sharing data, and ensuring coordinated operations across multiple cloud environments. As companies adopt cloud solutions from various providers—such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and others—interoperability becomes critical for maximising the benefits of these diverse platforms.

    Challenges of public cloud interoperability

    Different APIs and standards: Each cloud provider has its own set of APIs, which can differ significantly. This lack of standardisation can make it difficult to develop applications that interact with multiple clouds. Some features and services may be proprietary to a specific cloud provider, making it hard to integrate with other providers’ technologies.

    Data portability: Different clouds may use different data formats, storage solutions, and tools, complicating the process of moving data between them. Migrating data from one cloud to another can be time-consuming and costly, and may involve data transformation and reconfiguration.

    Security and compliance: Different clouds have varying security practices and compliance standards. Ensuring consistent security and compliance across multiple clouds can be challenging. Managing identity and access across different cloud platforms requires careful coordination to ensure that permissions and security policies are uniformly applied.

    Networking and latency: Connecting networks across different cloud providers can involve complex setup and configuration. Issues related to latency and data transfer speeds may arise. Data transfer between clouds can incur additional costs, impacting overall budget management.

    Solutions and strategies for cloud interoperability

    Cloud management platforms (CMPs): CMPs provide a centralised platform for managing and orchestrating resources across multiple cloud providers. They offer tools for monitoring, provisioning, and automating tasks across clouds.

    Standards and open-source projects: Efforts to create industry standards for cloud interoperability are ongoing. For example, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) promotes standards and best practices for cloud-native technologies. Open-source projects such as Kubernetes provide a framework for deploying and managing containerized applications across multiple cloud environments.

    API integration tools: Tools and services like MuleSoft, Apache Camel, and Zapier can help integrate APIs from different cloud providers, facilitating data exchange and workflow automation. Developing custom integration solutions or middleware can also bridge the gap between different APIs and services.
