Why is it so hard time for some of this site to understand that some of us are principled when it comes to choosing technologies? Or you know, actually learned from past trauma and make choice to avoid getting burned in the future.

Not all of us are enlightened. Wouldn't you mind telling us what those technologies are?

Ansible comes to mind. Used it to orchestrate hundreds of servers with migrations. Could also simply set up proxmox services beforehand if you're truly motivated, then just replicate the server to another instance.

And all networking configuration and everything else is transferred with close to zero effort?

You could roll your own SDN with the likes of wireguard.

Hello, may I interest you in NixOS? All your config, in one place, build it again and you got a copy. :)

Their username says it all: https://landscape.cncf.io/

Since the "vet" maybe didnt give it away, 95% of the cncf landscape is a trashfire joke of hodge podgey vc funded golang crap.

This site is so damn funny. I reply to a burner account in a day old thread, and then my comment is downmodded less than 60 seconds later. Points to some shockingly pathetic behavior, dang maybe you could check the IP on that alt account, might be interesting.

Exactly. At the startup I work for, we built from the old methods of bare metal, and integrate cloud services as needed. At any time though, if we are not satisfied with sed service, we're able to jump ship without headache pretty easily. As simple as spinning up a new container cluster elsewhere, migrating data, and ramping down the old. The founders were very clear on never being entrenched into a singular provider.

Probably because most employees don't get to pick and choose the tech stacks? You're either being incredibly obtuse or I'm missing your point.

Uh, I not implying or saying anything about who has the power. My comment is kinda hard to read in any other way than directed at the people who chose to intimately tie their product up with a proprietary price-gouging, lock-in platform.

Idk, I guess if I take the less charitable read of your comment, ... if you're sitting here blaming your circumstances for not knowing anything other than how to spin up overpriced Amazon serives idk what to tell you.
