A lot of us were warning them against putting their data and having their infrastructure rely on 3rd party suppliers years ago when the cloud mania was taking of.

At the very least, if you must contract computing power because of having spiky needs, only use clouds with open protocols so that you can move much more easilly to a different supplier if you need to, rather than being tied down to a single provider because your codebase was made on top of their libraries.
