      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!
