It’s often noted that in almost 15 years of existence, AWS has never increased prices on any service.
What are the chances that AWS will increase prices enough to make all of the cost in developer time and complexity in “abstracting your code” and the cost in project management, development, regression tests, risks, etc make it worthwhile to migrate?
The cost of one fully allocated developer+ qa+ project manager + the time taken by your network team + your auditors, etc and you’re already at $1 million.
Do you also make sure that you can migrate from all of the other dozen or so dependencies that any large company has - O365? Exchange? Your HR/Payroll/Time tracking system (Workday)? Windows? Sql Server? SalesForce? Your enterprise project management system? Your travel reimbursement system (Concur), your messaging system? Your IDP (Active Directory/Okta)?
