"On the other hand, if you use Kinesis, Lambdas, RDS, VPC peering, and IAM accross all of them including EC2 and EKS, then no, none of those other options can even come close. Purely the lack of system-wide IAM alone would be a dealbreaker."
If you use those, AWS starts rubbing its hands together and cackling in an evil laugh. I bet they even have an mp3 that plays whenever a major player uses a lock-in api product on AWS.
"aws lambda install blah blah" < I obviously don't know the api
Somewhere in Seattle: Mwahahahahahaha! Bwahahahahahah! Kwahahahahah!
Although RDS is just hosted SQL databases. It isn't a pure lock-in. Identity management, key management, firewalls, and networking all exist in some form at most places.
And don't underestimate how bad internal "clouds" are in large enterprises. AWS pure EC2 can still be a huge win, especially if that is the only one that has been "expertly" vetted or negotiated by some lofty level of management on a golf course somewhere.
