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?

imho, “vendor lock-in” gets talked about a lot but rarely a good idea to worry about because it’s too expensive to avoid. It’s better to pick well initially and not be afraid of going multi-cloud for specific things (training ML models for example).
