In light of these facts, enterprises that are moving data to the cloud should consider the following:
▪ Analyze the data needs of the enterprise to determine whether a multimodel DBMS is
sufficient or if a range of purpose-built DBMSs is required.
▪ If a range of purpose-built DBMSs is required, consider the cost and complexity factors
involved in adopting DBMSs from a variety of vendors versus a single vendor with an
integrated operational framework.
▪ In considering an integrated operational framework, if committing to a public cloud platform
provider, evaluate the value of turning to that cloud platform provider for such a framework.
▪ When considering public cloud provider–integrated operational frameworks, and the range of
DBMSs provided, the DBMSs and supporting platform of AWS should be on the list.
