Getting away from AWS is a big step! I hope the company I work for will think about it too. But maybe the time has come. A few months ago, people thought you were crazy if you talked about moving to another cloud service, but I hope the mood has changed with big impact for the future and which services we trust.

We have a looooong way to go. Even this cluster is just one product we consume from AWS.

And don't get me started on O365...

But the fact that there's money available for this is a big shift.

Oh yeah, replacing AWS may be easier than replacing O365... or otherway around? My company also went all in for O365. It's about replacing Mail, Teams, Teamwebsites, OneNotes and for sure so much more... We also ship our patches via Teamwebsite, it sounds stupid but well, it works... And talking to costumers when they still have Teams but your company ditched it, how would that work and so on... You have to have a lot of hope to think that all this will or can be replaced in the near future.

My wish for this christmas is for some large-ish organization to pull this off and then release a series of blogs discussing the tradeoffs. It's such a steep hill to climb, I think many believe it impossible unless there is a success story to refer to
