> it would seem like an easily-avoidable source of vendor lock-in I have the same question / concern. I think it's great that AWS are offering their own flavour of Linux, but doesn't that result in added risk of vendor lock-in? Whereas with an Ubuntu instance, one can change cloud providers quite easily [0], without being tied into AWS-specific Linux configurations [1]. [0] I think AWS is great, so this is more a hypothetical scenario. [1] I say this knowing little about AWS Linux and the degree to which it has custom configurations that can't easily plug-and-play on other distros. Would appreciate insight from someone who can speak to this risk from experience.
