    I do not need reasons, I need ways.

        Amazon is more than a shop. You can’t escape amazon web services.

          Very true, but I assume you don’t mean “then why bother at all” right?

          And if I’m correct in that assumption, then I figure we can agree that mitigating what you can is still a worthwhile endeavor?

            For the user asking for ways, the user needs ways not just one way out of a single amazon service.

                Look I didn’t mean my reply as: “you suck, you should post every way possible to get away from amazon” but as a “there are some things out of our control and we cannot escape from them unless we don’t use the internet at all”

                Getting away from amazon as a shop is kinda easy, just don’t shop there, thanks for providing alternative shops though.

          You can choose to repatriate your workload. People are doing it to save money constantly; now you get to claim it’s for the greater good!

          True but you can’t really control what companies use aws and at keast that is child free service
