I don't see why you're being voted down. At $dayjob, AWS consultants regularly "assist" with architectures where the final solution is invariably draped across every one of the AWS proprietary offerings. Whether on purpose or not, the result is that customers are locked in and the budgets are often a "surprise!".

In my experience when negotiating any discounts the Amazon sales guys are very aware exactly how locked in the customer is. If they use a ton of proprietary AWS features Amazon may offer 5% discount, on the other hand if the customer uses Kubernetes and other stuff that is easy to move to another cloud they may offer 50% off.

Yep, I've seen this at a previous job too - a 30 person team just dealing with the AWS knot.

Because it's easier to downvote than it is to write a thoughtful disagreement.
