> Either way building your system to be easy to lift and shift to another provider (or on prem) has merit to hedge against these risks, but it also slows you down.

Not necessarily. Kubernetes is a great way to hedge against that. You can write fully cloud-native autoscaling apps that have minimal dependencies on the hosting environment.

I agree, and chose k8s for this reason, but it’s definitely more work to run your own message queue vs. using SQS etc, so I don’t think it solves all of the friction here.
