7. Things to consider when crafting a hybrid-
cloud strategy:
• Did I choose the cloud (or cloud provider) that best suits a
particular workload and my business requirements?
• What if my needs change?
• Do I have a contingency plan?
• Am I choosing the best public cloud provider for the right
type of cloud (i.e. SLAs) for my hybrid cloud strategy?
• If it isn’t right, then what are my options?
• Can my private cloud interact with multiple public cloud
services?
