It’s used to “manage virtual machines” to help avoid “lock-in”. If all you’re doing is hosting a bunch of virtual machines on your cloud provider, you have the worse of both worlds. You’re paying more for infrastructure and you’re still babysitting hardware.
Besides, if you are at any type of scale - you’re de facto already “locked in”. Infrastructure has weight. Data migrations alone are a pain let alone migrating your network infrastructure, you’d permissions (IAM$), auditing for security compliance, your DNS entries, etc.
Why add Google to the mix at all if you’re all in on AWS and Azure? I bet few people have ever sat down and work with their project management team or IT people and estimated how long it would take or how much money it would cost to actually migrate to another vendor.
