If only that was true, the only way to remain cloud agnostic seems to be to use Kubernetes and some kind of managed sql database. Once you factor in some things like pubsub, SNS, dynamodb or firebase you quickly lock yourself in. Running the same server less application across clouds gets even more complicated

Anyone who thinks that using K8s and running everything on your own makes “cloud agnosticism” realistic has never dealt with large scale migrations and the institutional complexity behind it. (Yes I’m agreeing with you)

Yes I work for AWS Professional Services now. But I’ve seen the same with Azure and on prem in previous jobs. It hardly ever makes business sense not to go all in on whatever your infrastructure decisions are.
