How can we get ride of vendor lock-in and have fait market competition get prices down for cloud?

It must be possible to make cloud more cost effective via specialization versus every company building the same infrastructure again and again.

Proposed solution: A set of neutral validators that define standard Interfaces and then test any cloud wanting to get listed for compatibility and minimum included performance (also egress).

If all this data is open we should get competition back and fix cloud.

Disclaimer: I am working on suh a system, enterprise love the idea it does well at hackathons but not production ready on the validation standard yet. Would be happy to get critical HN feedback.
