The Myth of Cloud Agnosticism
summary
Argues that true cloud agnosticism rarely exists: a survey of ~1,000 readers shows CloudFormation 43% / Terraform 41% and most companies run one primary cloud + single-digit percent elsewhere. Cites concrete costs and limits: data gravity makes moving large datasets expensive (egress/pricing opaque), the newsletter architecture is entirely in AWS while using Office365 and G Suite, PagerDuty uses multi‑cloud only for paging, and vendor deals or tools like Kubernetes, DynamoDB, RDS and VMware/AWS partnerships shape practical lock‑in.
