Are the second-tier cloud companies really seeing big margins? Why is it not competed away to zero like airlines?
> Plus you have to pay for your own control plane when that’s already baked into the cloud provider’s charge model.
When you say "control plane" does this mean Kubernetes?There is a hypothetical "but what if we honestly actually really really do", but that's such a waste of engineering time when there are so many other problems to be solved that it's implausible. The only time multi-cloud makes sense is when you have to meet customers where they're at, and have resources in whichever cloud your customers are using. Or if you're running arbitrage between the clouds and are reselling compute.
