However, would it be sensible to keep a small team on a different tech (in this case move everything to N but keep a small V team) so that when shit happens in the other side you have an immediate team to migrate everything to this side?

(I'm thinking about MSFT who maintained a small Windows team when the majority effort went to OS/2 back in the 80s)

The MSFT case was R&D spend, but Infra falls under the Finance&IT bucket, where the available capital is much less.

I see. I guess the multi-cloud example you mentioned earlier makes more sense then.
