Out of the long list of things a five person startup needs to be worried about, “cloud lock in” doesn’t make the top 10 or even top 20.

- JustExAWS 1y agoThis startup is probably just a web server though. Let’s not pretend that multi cloud doesn’t have administration cost, network latency when using one cloud your data can literally be on the same server rack as your compute if you need it to be at best or at worse be in the same data center. That also begs the question if you need the cheapest costs possible, wouldn’t you be better off at a colo and have your processing and data in the same data center and not have to spend extra on cloud costs?
