Another anecdote to this: Where I work currently they won’t move off AWS because the relationship is really good and the support has been good (so I’ve been told) and they have had the relationship for quite some time so even though we could get better pricing with GCP or switching some things to more specialized yet reliable vendors we default to AWS for almost everything because the relationship is seen as solid and trustworthy with history to back it up Doesn’t mean we don’t get quotes from other providers in negotiations at contract renewal time and use frameworks / technologies that allow us to switch vendors pretty easily if we needed and I know there is an upper limit here. However it’s also one of those “we pay a little more for peace of mind and familiarity” things, so it’s with some (relatively marginal) higher cost
