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.

Neuroscience, 10 ppl at that time. I went with AWS for three reason: compliance with HIPAA, credits for healthcare services, good AI infra Protection from vendor lock-in was a process rather than an initial decision. Many infra parts are commoditized across the clouds. I was avoiding proprietary tech like fire

balance between moving fast and scaling. at a successful startup i worked at we started with Heroku and when the company scaled we moved to AWS. both were good choices for the stage the company was at

For personal use, I chose Servarica, an independent company in Quebec. I like them. Their pricing is good, and they seem responsive to tickets. I'm located in Canada, and for simplicity I wanted a server in Canada. I'm using open source everything, but in practice once set up, there's inertia to moving elsewhere.

It's a balance of cost and complexity. AWS is neither of those if I'm not mistaken. I probably am.
