Re: Shed

Which is why almost all the cloud providers immediately try to lock you in with their added features. Sure, you can run your regular servers on AWS, but why don't you use this little feature instead of doing that bit yourself, it will be much cheaper. OK, now how about this feature, now this feature...

Before long, your "cloud" systems are something that have really become AWS-only systems, because to move all those services to GCloud, or Azure will require redoing all those specific AWS features either yourself or using GCloud features. To be truly cloud agnostic is difficult, not because its difficult to do stuff in cloud, but because it is too tempting to take the quick win and lock yourself in.
