When Amazon pulled out of Quebec, Ottawa said it would review its contracts with the firm. Documents obtained by The Logic reveal how much it depends on the tech giant.
Two or three years sound somewhat optimistic to me. It’s quite likely that it’s a really rough estimate. Fact is, AWS has a crap ton of little features that they add over the years, displacing smaller players or outright buying them, so that they can lock you into their service. I reckon that there’s also the need to re-engineer some of these services to rid themselves of those lock-ins.
Better get started, then.
No doubt there are some “low hanging fruit” that can be moved faster and easier than the larger and more complex deployments.
