> We never got there with VMs: Amazon ec2 instances are not the same as GCE instances are not the same as VMware VMs

This is true but is that such a huge deal? We successfully moved from AWS to GCP and it wasn't a massive deal; just different terminology for the same concepts.

It really depends on the kind of engineering org that you operate. As a general rule, more standards and easier migration paths win.

Compare that to redeploying your k8s manifests from an EKS cluster to a GKE cluster or vice versa. Its definitely not fully platform agnostic, but it requires much less engineering effort.
