The problem with the "clouds" is that there are two types of locks : code lock and data lock. The author only talk about code lock. Again, as Kubernetes mature it would become easier and easier to configure (think of it as unix/linux at its early days), and hence less and less code locked. However, Kubernetes does not have data lock. I.e. when you go to the public cloud, you are locked both in term of compute and in term of data. I.e. the egress prices are 10x.
