What about the case where you're not migrating away, but do need to support multiple clouds for regulatory, failover, customer requirements, etc. reasons? Is there a way to still leverage the first-class features of, say, AWS and GCP without resorting to one of these issues:

- death by abstraction of cloud differences

- teams incompletely reimplementing features on each service

- giving up and going to bare metal

?

Not really a way to leverage the different services by cloud vendors, because the services really are different. So it is either the abstractions you mention, or going with self-hosted. And the latter cases, you really start to appreciate cloud native tech such as what you find at the CNCF.
