Remember, folks: don't build your castle in someone else's kingdom.

That's not a great advice, actually. Don't build just one castle and extract all value from the kingdom to your castles outside of it.

That's ... a lot of work. If you have that kind of resources you might as well play an entirely different game.

AWS is more like a commodity service, relatively easily swapped for something else.

… if you only run a few (micro)services on a few dozen machines.

Whole enterprises run everything in the cloud. 1000s of vms. From active directory, dns, virtual desktops until “lift and shift” legacy apps. And also a lot of networking to make the company networkwork with aws…

And that is only the technical aspect of it.

Migrations take years.

Not if you use the managed services which is a very alluring proposition for most businesses.
