Problem Statement
What is a vendor lock-in risk in the cloud context?
Explanation
Vendor lock-in means that once you adopt a vendor’s specific cloud services (for example a proprietary database or serverless offering), you may become dependent on them and find it difficult or expensive to switch providers. From a security and resilience standpoint, lock-in can reduce flexibility, increase risk and delay response to threats. Mentioning this shows you understand strategic risks beyond technical controls. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
