   How locked into windows do you think most people are? Or to m365, enteraID, Java, MySQL, SAP, servicenow, etc

   And yet the world keeps running. Because lock in often just means getting the most out of the thing we chose to run our businesses

     @bert_hubert And... I think it's reasonable to say that the "lock-in" is the primary objective of the AWS and Azure business models.

     “Going to the cloud” can mean renting services/servers that you could get from anywhere. There’s little lock-in. The same four words “going to the cloud” might also mean locking your operations to a specific cloud provider, forever. This difference is vital, yet often ignored: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/beware-cloud-is-part-of-the-software/
