Reconsider it. Unless your enterprisey company is building a platform itself, you don't care about VMs, containers, or MicroVMs.

Build serverless workloads and run them on whatever compute is available.

How do you build serverless workloads that are portable between compute providers?

You don't.

The the money you spend for being provider independent is the very money you save by going serverless.

Leaves the question: Is the risk worth the money saved?

Azure's Function App engine is OSS, so you could go with Azure's FaaS, but retain the option to self-host on VMs or servers anywhere.

OpenFaaS (around 2.5 years since launch) with 200 contributors, 17k stars and around 40 end-user companies in production. www.openfaas.com

How about Google cloud run?

Knative, but it's still immature, like most serverless frameworks.

Most serverless frameworks give you some degree of portability across the majopr providers. I work on architect (which is currently AWS only) which is going to add Azure support pretty soon.
