" the same teams that were doing it before, but with cloud guardrails instead of hacky bespoke solutions "

you do realize that "cloud guardrails" often started out life as "hacky bespoke solutions". you are assuming more business risk than is necessary.

As someone who did it for two years, I know not everything is perfect. But the tooling, monitoring, automation, orchestration, etc. becomes a lot easier when there are 4-5 toolsets vs. dozens.

It's like taking an ops support team that is using perl, java, php, python, bash, ksh running on RHEL5 and HP-UX and getting everyone on RHEL8, terraform and Go.
