You never qualified either with “in my particular use case”. If you had, I would have had no argument. I haven’t been flown into your company along with SAs, sales, project managers, etc for a week to do a proper “as-is” assessment and to see what your requirements are.
I haven’t accessed the competencies of your staff or determined what is your competitive advantage and what is the “undifferentiated heavy lifting” in your company.
I would never make any blanket statements without knowing your specific use case and automatically assume “cloud” is always the right or wrong answer
>And when has that happened with respect to either GCP, AWS or Azure at a level that it’s worth migrating?
This suggests you are looking for a single example where the pricing of the big 3 is compratively high compared to the competition at a point where it worth it to switch. I gave the example that the price of egress is one cost which is not competitive. If I had instead said that SQS was not competitive obviously that wouldn't matter to businesses that don't use it enough to make a difference.
I’m looking at it from more than just “cost of infrastructure”. You also have to consider reliability, managed vs unmanaged, the competencies and expertise of your team, organizational constraints whether you have a more or less static or dynamic workload…
Microsoft and AWS have versions of the “Cloud Adoption Framework”
