The reason that cloud computing architects choose to design and deploy more complex cloud solutions that are heterogeneous in nature is that they are attempting to leverage the best to breed cloud services. Indeed heterogeneity means that we're literally leveraging many different types and brands of technology, for instance, storage from AWS and from Microsoft as part of the same solution.
