Corey Quinn, Last Week in AWS
In theory, the idea of having infrastructure that can seamlessly deploy between different cloud providers is a wonderful concept. Who wouldn't love to migrate workloads seamlessly between providers for a variety of reasons? In theory, a tiger with an anger management problem is just a scaled up house-cat.
This talk explores the practical reality of cloud agnosticism, with all of its warts. The financial, technical, and operational complexities introduced by multiple providers can take companies by surprise. Come explore the basic truth of "however much you hate your cloud provider, you will hate the migration process far more."
