You probably don’t need AWS and are better off without it

Trying to utilize all three major US cloud providers with their cloud native tools simultaneously, learning those tools and cutting IT, dev and security from on prem to those, takes a massive staff in a regulated industry.

Doing it "right the first time" in one of the big three, then building a skunk works to replicate efforts as a blackout scenario, seems much more cost effective.

The key term is Total Cost of Ownership. Lockin is a cost. Legacy stacks are a cost. Learning three times the tools are a cost.

Having to pay expensive diy-developers is also a cost (and a huge risk). And if you then need to transfer knowledge and reinvent the wheel for all the NIH-applications you're essentially becoming a cloud, but less complete and not scalable at all.
