I remember when the discussion was how to escape the lock-in by hardware vendors such as EMC and Dell. I believe a lot of initial desire to go cloud was the idea it was easier to migrate from AWS to Azure to GCP if necessary. Now we know that such migrations are multi year efforts. Exactly like in the bad old days.

- devonbleak 1y agoAll the times I heard about lock-in was a vendor trying to get me to avoid locking into their competitor and lock into them.
