You’re using a cloud provider; you’re already locked in. But you’re also locked in like you’re locked in by your OS or your programming language or your ISP, which is to say: the whole point of cloud providers is to abstract away a certain set of things. You can look at it as lock-in, or as using a platform that enables you to solve the problems you care about. You can look at your OS as lock-in, or a tool that enables you to solve the problems you care about. If your goal is to provide cloud infrastructure quickly and easily and without building a data center, then lock-in doesn’t really matter. And if it does, there are more expensive, more appropriate options.

Lock-In is defined as, "an arrangement according to which a person or company is obliged to deal only with a specific company."
