- No vendor lockin, it works with both AWS & GCE services.
- Extremely flexible architecture allowing integration between many existing platforms such Microsoft Azure or IBM Cloud etc.The possibility exists here where even if not yet implemented today could be done soon enough after customer request comes along : )
