Episode 84 of Cloud Computing with Fexingo digs into the evolving mechanics of cloud provider lock-in — specifically the 'stickiness' strategies that are harder to detect and costlier to escape. Lucas and Luna explore how hyperscalers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud are embedding long-term commitments into managed services, data format dependencies, and AI platform integrations. They dissect a real example: the hidden costs of migrating away from a fully managed Kubernetes service when you've built custom operators and signed three-year commitment discounts. The episode also covers the rise of 'data gravity' charges and how newer fine-grained billing structures make it cheaper to stay than to leave. If you're running a multi-cloud or hybrid strategy in mid-2026, this episode gives you concrete numbers and negotiation angles to watch for. #CloudLockIn #AWS #Azure #GCP #ManagedServices #DataGravity #MultiCloud #HybridCloud #EgressFees #CommitmentDiscounts #CloudCosts #Kubernetes #AIInfrastructure #VendorLockIn #CloudBilling #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
