What does this all mean from IaC perspective?

Let’s say you can define all your containers, orchestration, database and middleware in a compact way (Dockerfiles, Terraform, etc) with cloud vendor independent open source tools, using managed OSS.

How much of that code would be dependent on your cloud provider, really? Maybe a thousand lines of hopefully modularized platform dependent configuration code?

Migration from one system to another would still be an effort, but not that big one?

You can also modularize code that goes into something like Lambda as well, and distance your code from proprietary APIs through interfaces. Also under 1,000 LoC.
