Large shops seem to love complexity and mistake it for flexibility while constantly complaining about how complicated things are to integrate. It puzzles me how the culture seems to keep adopting stuff so complicated that only those with an army of consultants and massive resources could do the same thing while most start-ups look at the same problems, find a solution that gets the problem solved sufficiently and then build things that actually solve real problems instead of self-inflicted ones like dealing with the complexities of cross-account permission structures via AWS IAM and S3 bucket policies interacting with SSO. I’m not entirely convinced that the F500 would adopt GCP if they had the support and hand-holding structure that they have historically demanded. Myself, I’d rather find a solution that doesn’t need such a team to support me in the first place. Sure, there’s all sorts of issues with partners’ service offerings and the high cost of transit between multiple cloud providers but perhaps you can save the costs of support and put it toward network instead (won’t solve the transit costs for your partners though).
