i think for company-critical databases, the best you can do without invoking a terrible headache for your security officer is going multi-cloud: one big tech cloud, and one smaller firm that is completely disconnected from the other one

maybe they could even use a relatively inexpensive colo/baremetal provider to simply mirror the bigtech deployment on a smaller scale (would need to be quite flexible/vendor-agnostic to make that work...)
