> Because what's their BATNA? Migrating from Azure to AWS when Microsoft doesn't want to let them?

As long as they have backups, yep, that's a quite possible alternative. And backups cost very little, and don't need to run flawlessly 24x7.

They will probably pay through their nose either way (backups or not, migrating or not), because that's how the cloud works. But well, that's for their bean-counters to count. As long as they have backups, it's not strategy defining or an existential risk.

(Anyway, nobody goes around talking about BATNA of the proprietary, rented mainframes. I wonder why.)



Probably for the same reason nobody goes around talking about the BATNA of having employees. This doesn’t make any sense.


Not only people do talk about the BATNA of hiring people all the time, but I fail to see how this is relevant to a machine rental contract.
