I think it's fair to say that you think migrating to the hyperscalars is a thing a company should do. That's what my previous post was addressing


I don't. What I'm saying is that the vast majority of companies are, and many of these business using IBM/RedHat/etc. products would follow the tide if not for other things in their way. I've seen it first hand where a fortune 500 kept their large IBM and SAP footprint (because the cost to migrate to something else was huge) and used AWS EKS for all the new apps.

Personally I think at their scale, self hosting and creating more interoperability between the stacks would have been a better investment but I was not CTO or an SVP so I didn't get to make those decisions.
