> I don't think it is unreasonable for people who haven't run or worked for a hosting service to have opinions on the policy aspect or economic impact of hyperscalers.

Yeah, that's completely fair. My angle was more that firstly this doesn't come across as an opinion that needs the expert in question, and secondly this is yet another case of 'Talk is cheap, show me the code', particularly when quotes in the article include "We urgently need diversification in cloud computing."

I feel like the 'We' is doing an awful lot of heavy lifting and there's no mention of the costs of taking on such a task.

Additionally, and awkwardly, it's possible to be both a monopoly in the space but also technically a more stable solution, making the cost for competitors or people willing to use competitors doubly high.

Edit: Realised afer the fact I'm GP to your post, assumed it was mine, keeping the words anyway.

I don't think anyone needs to produce any code. I've worked at companies with thousands of employees who don't use any cloud services.

It can be done, and contrary to marketing, it's probably cheaper and more reliable.

What code is needed to make a decision to go with a smaller provider instead of AWS?
