Also CYA. If you run your own servers and something goes wrong its your fault. if its an outage at AWS its their fault. Also a huge element of follow the crowd, branding non-technical management are familiar with, and so on. I have also found some developers (front end devs, or back end devs who do not have sysadmin skills) feel cloud is the safe choice. This is very common for small companies as they may have limited sysadmin skills (people who know how to keep windows desktops running are not likely to be who you want to deploy servers) and a web GUI looks a lot easier to learn.

> If its an outage at AWS its their fault. Well, still your fault, but easy to judo the risk into clients saying supporting multi-cloud is expensive and not a priority.

  Management in many places will not even know what multi-cloud is (or even multi-region). As Cloudstrike showed, if you follow the crowd and tick the right boxes you will not be blamed.

    nit: Crowdstrike Unless the incident is now being referred to as “Cloudstrike”, in which case, eww

      Yeah, he meant Crowdstrike. Cloudstrike is the name of a future security incident affecting multiple cloud provides. I can't disclose more details.
