Maintaining separate CI/CD pipelines for every cloud provider and manually gathering audit evidence across consoles is a painful engineering grind.
The problem:
Cloud dependency concentrates in four places and slows down every change: - Applications tightly bound to provider-specific services
- High friction and long timelines for planned migrations
- Inconsistent delivery workflows across different teams
- Non-portable governance and audit controlsThe Fix:
Consolidate at the delivery layer to fix the root cause:
- Store one portable application definition in Git
- Declare policy as code at the platform layer
- Use a single delivery workflow for every target cloud
Why it matters:
You lower switching barriers and make provider choice a downstream decision without rewriting your whole architecture.
