Well. Being tied to any one cloud is not a great position to be in. Not patronizing.



You’re always locked in to your infrastructure. The entire idea of “cloud agnosticism” is BS.

I’ve seen companies take over a year and thousands of man hours to move from VMs on premise to a cloud platform.

Cloud agnosticism is hardly ever a business differentiator


It's also not an advantage, I've seen endless complexity in abstractions on abstraction, fragility and giving up really nice cloud features for this.

It'd take years to migrate STILL even with all that effort. And they can't ship features they are so busy worrying about AWS going away.


Exception, companies like datadog where they're actually operating in several clouds for good business reasons (it's where their customers are).
