Does anyone have any good articles about AWS (or other) lock in? I have Matt Prince's article about egress fees, but I'm looking for something more thorough.


Most (on HN) are just people who misunderstand the cloud business badly or think their case of reinventing the wheel can be applied globally.

You can do a site search for hacker news with just one of the cloud names in it to find a ton of blogs about it.

Most of them say "lock-in" but aren't actually about lock-in because you're not locked in, just in a bad position (power vs. utility).
