For me the purpose of the cloud is the ability to deploy my projects on rented infrastructure independently of the provider. Tools like Terraform and Kubernetes help with the abstraction of providers.
As for proprietary features I prefer to use open source alternatives like Supabase, which I then can deploy to any cloud and migrate between clouds if needed.
Well then you aren’t probably taking advantage of most of the stuff AWS offers and is actually really good for. Which isn’t really criticism, but then I wouldn’t really call it cloud? It’s more like just infrastructure as a service.

Infrastructure as a service is literally the definition of a cloud. Everything is just bells and whistles.
