> You could go multi cloud though.

Multi cloud is almost always more pain than gain. You’d spend time and effort abstracting away the value that a cloud provider brings in canned services.

Hell, multi region is often more than many workloads need.



My entire infrastructure is on k8s which should make multi-cloud easy...

Nope.


So you’re not using any managed services?


Other than kubernetes and object storage, no.


It could work then. We had the same setup. Also, we store everything on S3 but there is a lambda function that pushes new objects to Google Cloud storage too. We figured, storage is cheap so we can duplicate things and it will make moving to GCP a lot easier.

This was a while back though. Now we depend on a lot more AWS stuff.


At one point, I was maintaining clusters in AWS, Azure, and GCP. It was a more work than I anticipated, for very little benefit.

Cluster administration and identity management are unique to each provider and fairly challenging to get right.
