Ferengi badass approach is hilarious! (I really enjoyed it) I also try to urge people when considering a cloud or product vendor that they could expand into your businesses sector and investors or the board could make a decision to avoid that vendor, you will then have to migrate not for technical architecture reasons, but for reasons well out of your control. For example lets say I made a job search application, built on Azure, when Microsoft bought Linkedin the CEO/board of my imaginary company might set out a directive to migrate off of Azure. There are also legal reasons why someone might have to migrate off of a vendor's product, if the two companies get locked in to a lawsuit. When designing these systems I think it is important and not always popular to consider different vendors or a self hosted solution with different hardware vendors. Perhaps more important advocate for an Open Source solution in order to help facilitate a potential migrations or other situations.
