Architectural lock-in is when the application relies on multiple managed services from the cloud provider. Mergers and acquisition activity often leaves organizations with multi-cloud architectures, says Nag, and while CIOs typically want to consolidate, the cost is often too high to justify.

General Motors announced a new “end-to-end” software platform for its cars called “Ultifi” — a play on the name Ultium , which is the automaker’s new electric vehicle battery architecture. The Linux-based system will also be available to third-party developers who may want to create apps and other features for GM customers.
