What are the risks of Hyperscaler Lock-in?

Lock-in to hyperscale providers like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud can limit flexibility, increase long-term costs, and expose organizations to external legal and regulatory risks. These risks include high switching costs, reduced ability to negotiate terms, and compliance issues stemming from foreign data access laws. In the long term, this can reduce innovation, increase dependency, and hinder resilience. meshStack addresses these challenges by supporting multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud orchestration, allowing organizations to abstract away from provider-specific implementations and maintain portability and control across their cloud estate.
