Anyone here ever been responsible for choosing a cloud provider for their entire organization? How did you choose between AWS, GCP, Azure or others? What considerations or factors guided your decision? Was avoiding vendor lock in part of the equation? How large was the org and what industry?

to avoid vendor lockin, IMHO just build for k8s-and-psql (or anything self-hostable) eg don't use dynamodb / lambda / etc

aws and gcp are basically interchangable for this. i have 2 clusters on each. i use kubestack to build clusters, i could move any of them to another cloud provider (or baremetal) pretty quick.

and yes, avoiding lockin has always been a core driver for me, and it was a specific request at my current role (hosting k8s for 10 employees) as well, so we went with AWS

AWS EKS has some slight nuances (CNI, CSI, etc) but nothing that would take more than a few days to adjust to a new environment
