> using proprietary cloud solutions from a single cloud provider, it has a cost so it's not always worth it.
but perhaps some software design choices could be made to alleviate these costs. For example, you could have a read-only replica on azure or whatever backup cloud provider, and design your software interfaces to allow the use of such read only replicas - at least you'd be degraded rather than unavailable. Ditto with web servers etc.
This has a cost, but it's lower than entirely replicating all of the proprietary features in a different cloud.
