A cloud administrator is tasked with setting up a new cloud service. The service must integrate seamlessly with the company's existing on-premises architecture, which is highly specialized. Which of the following vendor characteristics should be given the HIGHEST priority when selecting a cloud service provider?
The correct answer is 'Compatibility with existing systems'. Ensuring that the new cloud service integrates seamlessly with existing on-premises architecture is critical to avoid costly modifications to the existing systems, prevent interoperability issues, and reduce training needs for IT personnel. While cost, support, and innovation are important considerations, the primary focus must be on compatibility to ensure smooth operations.
