The idea of data centers and the providers that may or may not own or run atop any given data center is the rationale behind our entire architecture at my business! We started by adopting a common OS, and selecting against the use of entirely-proprietary services or tools. Now our server management control plane is code in git, executed by applications in Kubernetes. As long as we can get a connection to the app or server, we can now pretty much take our system to any environment that runs the expected OS. GCP, AWS, Azure, Linode, DigitalOcean, OVH bare metal, you name it. It is fantastic.
