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

I recommend using descriptive names rather than marketing ones. Proper naming helps you understand and think about things accurately to remove psychological bias/koolaid.

Another term which is more descriptive for cloud native is vendor cloud lock-in, which could be reasonably but descriptively shortened to cloud-locked or cloud-married maybe.

Native sounds cool but completely loses sight of the cost of lock-in, while locked or married talks to both the benefits and the costs.

Vendor lock in is an attribute, or effect, which is not the same as “another term”. You can’t start an argument about semantics only to bend this language so drastically.

Your semantics are misguided at best and malicious at first hand. FaaS is cloud-native, but is a mere abstract context a lock-in? If so, what is the point of ascribing lock-ins at all at that point? Cloud-native isn’t vendor-owned, at best it could be trademarked at the CNCF but that’s not a vendor.
