heh.
by the course of looking for programming job, i have scanned hundreds of job-ads, incl. governmental. everybody-and-his-dog requires AWS/Azure/GCP knowledge as if it matters thaaaat much. These cloud-y things have become a mandatory buzzword, and i am not talking about sysadmin/devops.
In my last gig the system was kept cloud-agnostic, so moving between providers or on-prem be possible at any time. And i as CTO kept that good thing, although had to resist some pushes. But seems such cases are few - most places now dream of hyper mega-giga-scale and Lambdas and Big-queries.. while doodling few thousands of requests.
Lets see if there's any wind change.. vendor-lock is a real thing, with much deeper (architectural or life-cycle) consequences than usually perceived.
